Seasons in the Sun
Terry Jacks
Goodbye to you, my trusted friend We've known each oth'r since we were nine or ten Together we've climbed hills and trees Learned of love and A-B-C s Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Pretty girls are ev'ry where Think of me and I'll be there We had joy, we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climb Were just seasons out of time Goodbye, Papa, please pray for me I was the black sheep of the family You tried to teach me right from wrong Too much wine and too much song Wonder how I got along. Goodbye, Papa, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air Little children ev'ry where When you'll see them, I'll be there We had joy, we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song Like the seasons have all gone We had joy, we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song Like the seasons have all gone Goodbye, Michelle, my little one You gave me love and helped me find the sun And ev'ry time that I was down You would always come around And get my feet back on the ground Goodbye, Michelle, it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air With the flowers ev'ry where I wish that we could both be there We had joy, we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach Were just tarfish on the beach We had joy, we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach We had joy, we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the wine and the song Like the seasons have all gone All our lives we had fun We had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climb Were just seasons out of time
