Rod McKuen - Seasons in the sun

Goodby, 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 Cs, 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. wish for me and I'll be there.

Chorus:
We had joy. We had fun. We had seasons in the sun, but the wine and the song like the seasons are all gone

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. Think of me, I'll be there.

(Chorus)
We had joy. We had fun. We had seasons in the sun, but the the song and the rime were just seasons out of time. Adieu, Francoise, my faithfull wife, without you I'd have had a lonely life.
You cheated lots of times but then, I forgave you in the end though your lover was my friend.
Adieu, Francoise, it's 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.

we had joy we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.

Adieu, Emile. Adieu, Papa. Goodby, Francoise.

All our lives, we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, the wine and the song like the seasons are all gone
All our lives, we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, but the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach.
