Seasons In The Sun

By Terry Jacks

Goodbye to you 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.

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 climb 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 its 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 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 we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach.

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that 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
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climb 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.

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