Before I die
Just once would be enough
I want to try and laugh as hard as I can
Whistle and walk,
On the sunny side of the street
In the pocket of my only good clothes
There's never any money but,
On the sunny side of the street,
I'll dance
like Astaire and...
In the middle of main street
I'll see you by chance
I'll yell out your name
Hug and kiss and...
Before I die
Just once would be enough
I want to be loved as much as possible
On the sunny side of the street
I'll whistle and
walk side by side
And then I'll be with you 'til morning
On a rose-colored bed
We'll talk of foolish things
Hug and kiss and..
Before I die
Just once would be enough
I want to try and laugh as hard as I can
On the sunny side of the street,
If I laugh, the more I cry
I'll whistle and step out
I'll dance
like Astaire and...
'bye-bye'
