Lyrics

Whatever Happens

Whatever happens

We'll have some love love love love along the way

But it ain't easy

We'll look for some words of love love love to say

And smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile smile

Mmmmhhhmmmmhhhmmmmhhhmmmhhhmmm and be happy anyway

And we'll kiss before we say goodnight......

And for whatever happens

There'll be some time time  times along the way

When it ain't easy

But I I I I just can't be Sunshine shine shine shine every day

You’ll smile smile smile smile smile  smile smile smile smile smile

Mmmmhhhmmmmhhhmmmmhhhmmmhhhmmm and be happy anyway

And we'll kiss before we say goodnight......

I've got you in my life

Together we can can can reach the high high higher ground

We'll be alright just just as long as you’re you’re you're around

Girl I won't let you down

Whatever happens

There there there there'll be some good time time times and some bad

But it ain't easy

Let's just remember the good time time times that we had

And smile smile smile smile smile  smile smile smile smile smile

Mmmmhhhmmmmhhhmmmmhhhmmmhhhmmm and be happy anyway

And we'll kiss before we say goodnight......

And we'll kiss before we say goodnight............
