Goodbye to you, my trusty friend We've known each other since we're nine or ten Together we've climbed hills and trees Learned of love and ABCs Skin our hearts and skin 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 everywhere 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 climbed 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 everywhere When you see them, I'll be there We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time 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 Every time when 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 Look, the flowers everywhere I wish that we both could be there We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time 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 stars, like the rich, were just starfish on the beach
