Seasons In The Sun

we had joy,
we had fun,
we had seasons in the sun;
but the hills we would climb
were just seasons out of time.
all our lives we had fun,
we had seasons in the sun;
but the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach.

adieu, emile,
my trusted friend,
we`ve known each other
since we were nine or ten;
together we climbed hills and trees,
learned of love
and a-b-c`s,
skinned our hearts
and skinned our knees.
adieu, emile,
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`rywhere;
think of me
and i`ll be there.

[chorus]

adieu, 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.
adieu, 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`rywhere;
when you`ll see them, i`ll be there.

[chorus}

adieu, francoise,
my trusted wife,
without you i`d have had a lonely life;
you cheated lots of times,
but then,
i forgave you in the end,
tho` your lover was my friend.
adieu, francoise,
i`ts hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky;
now that the spring is in the air,
with your lovers ev`rywhere;
just be careful,
i`ll be there.

all our lives we had fun,
we had seasons in the sun;
but the stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach
