Seasons In the Sun

[Verse 1]
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 ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

[Verse 2]
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
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
Think of me, and I'll be there

[Chorus]
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the song and the rhyme
Were just seasons out of time

[Verse 5]
Goodbye, Francoise, my faithful wife
Without you, I'd have had a lonely life
You cheated lots of times but then
I forgave you in the end
For your lover was my friend

[Verse 6]
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

[Chorus]
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

[Bridge]
Adieu, Emile
Adieu, Papa
Goodbye, Francoise

[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

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