lyrics

Sometimes I'm so happy my voice just must be heard
Joy can make you lose yourself and warble like a bird
At times like that it seems as though my soul has taken wing

And you can be sure of one thing -
I'll always sing, I'll always sing
You can be sure of one thing: I'll always sing

Sometimes I get weary and barren as the sand
Sometimes i'm so burdened down that I can barely stand
I lie awake in bed, in dread of what tomorrow brings

But you can be sure of one thing -
I'll always sing, I'll always sing
You can be sure of one thing: I'll always sing

At times I've been surrounded by people of like mind
Other times I've searched in vain a friendly face to find
But whether I'm with family or alone and wandering

You can be sure of one thing -
I'll always sing, I'll always sing
You can be sure of one thing: I'll always sing

My mother says I learned to sing when I was only three
Nursery rhymes and nonsense and commercials from TV
I'd sit out in my back yard and keep rhythm on my swing

And you can be sure of one thing -
I'll always sing, I'll always sing
You can be sure of one thing: I'll always sing

And when I'm old and feeble and life has passed me by
I may lose my hair, my hands, my legs or yet my eyes
But if I have a throat left I will make the rafters ring

And you can be sure of one thing -
I'll always sing, I'll always sing
You can be sure of one thing: I'll always sing!
