We'll Sing in the Sunshine

Skeeter Davis · Tunes for Two (w Bobby Bare) (RCA Victor) [1965]

(Gale Garnett)

We'll sing in the sunshine

We'll laugh every day

We'll sing in the sunshine

Then be on our way.

I will never love you the cost of love's too dear

But though I'll never love you I'll live with you one year

I'll sing to you each morning mhm I'll kiss you every night

But darling don't cling to me I'll soon be out of sight.

But we can sing in the sunshine

We'll laugh every day

We'll sing in the sunshine

Then be on our way.

Daddy he once told me now don't you love you any man

Just take what they may give you and give out what you can

Now 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

Then went on our way.

Yes, we sang in the sunshine

Then went on our way...
