Livin' In The Sunlight, Lovin' In The Moonlight
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
I just go my way, living ev'ry day
I don't worry, worrying don't agree
Winter, Fall and Spring, I just smile and sing
Things that bother you, never bother me
I think ev'rything's fine
Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight
Having a glorious time
Haven't got a lot, I don't need a lot
Coffee's only a dime
Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight
Having a marvelous time
Just take it from me, I'm just as free as any dove
I do what I like, just when I like, and how I love it
I don't give a hoot, give my cares the boot
All the world is in rhyme
Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight
Having a wonderful time
I go swimming with pretty women
And I find life is divine
Swimming in the sunlight, swimming in the moonlight
Having a glorious time
When I'm stepping out with my runabout
How we step is a crime
Starting in the sunlight, ending in the moonlight
Having a marvelous time
I bet what I want, get what I want, once in a while
But if she says "No!", I let her go and keep on smiling
I'm right here to stay, when I'm old and gray
I'll be right in my prime
Chasing in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight
Having a wonderful time
I'm right here to stay, when I'm old and gray
I'll be right in my prime, ooh
Chasing in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight
Having a wonderful time
