Seasons In The Sun
[Verse 1]
Adieu Emile, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were 9 or 10
Together we climbed hills and trees
Spoke of love and ABCs
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 everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

[Chorus]
We had joy we had fun wе had seasons in the sun
But the hills that wе climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

[Verse 2]
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
Wondered 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 everywhere
When you see them 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 have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the win and the song, like the seasons have all gone

[Verse 3]
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
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 everywhere
Just be careful I'll be there

[Outro]
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
