That was popular on the radio when I was a child, and I loved that song! Why is it I always love the melancholy songs best? Freudians?

My sources say words and music were by New Zealander Gale Garnett, 1964. The Canadians may claim her, but she didn't move to Canada until she was 11. "We'll Sing In the Sunshine" was on her debut album, My Kind of Folk Music.

M Ted: Who says they're expected to, now? It's true that more of them do, but I was under the impression that for some (such as Britney Spears) it was more of an occasional self-indulgence.

Gale Garnett was the singer--but it was before singers were expected to write their own material--

Found them! Sorry for the inconvenience. here they are:

WE'LL SING IN THE SUNSHINE

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

I know I'll 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 everyday,
We'll sing in the sunshine,
And 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."

We'll sing in the sunshine,
We'll laugh everyday,
We'll sing in the sunshine,
And I'll be on my way.

I'll sing to you each morning,
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 everyday,
We'll sing in the sunshine,
And I'll be on my way.

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

We sang in the sunshine,
We laughed everyday,
We sang in the sunshine,
And then went on our way.

Please help with the thought provoking lyrics (and artist) for the song which has the stanzas

We'll sing in the sunshine, we'll laugh(?) in the rain, We'll sing in the sunshine, then I'll be on my way...

It's a song about the cost of love being too dear, but she (the singer) will stay one year.

Many thanks
