We'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine then I'll be on my way

I will never love you the cost of love's too dear
But though I'll never love you I'll stay with you one year

And we'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine then I'll be on my way

I'll sing to you each morning I'll kiss you every night
But darling don't cling to me I'll soon be out of sight

But we'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine then I'll be on my way

My daddy he once told me don't you love you any woman
Just take what they may give you and give but what you can

And we'll sing in the sunshine we'll laugh every day
We'll sing in the sunshine then I'll be on my way

And when our year has ended and I have gone away
You'll often speak about me and this is what you'll say

We sang in the sunshine we laughed every day
We sang in the sunshine and I went on my way
