We’ll Sing In the Sunshine Gale Garnett (#4 in 1964)

    We’ll sing in the sunshine, We’ll laugh every da-a-y
    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 can sing in the sunshine, We’ll laugh every da-a-y
    We’ll sing in the sunshine, Then I’ll be on my way

 
I’ll sing to you each mornin’, I’ll kiss you every night
But darlin’, don’t cling to me, I’ll soon be out of sight
 
    But we can sing in the sunshine, We’ll laugh every da-a-y
    We’ll sing in the sunshine, Then I’ll be on my way

 
My daddy he once told me,  “Hey, don’t you love you any man”
“Just take what they may give you”, “And give but what you can”
 
    “And you can sing in the sunshine”, “You’ll laugh every da-a-y”
    “You’ll sing in the sunshine”, “Then be on your 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, “You know, we laughed every da-a-y”
    “We sang in the sunshine”, “Then she went away”
