Season In The Sun

Season In The Sun

 

Goodbye Emil, 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

 

Goodbye Emil, it's hard to die

When all the bird's are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Pretty girls are everywhere

I wish we could both be there

 

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

But the hills we could climb were just seasons out of time

 

Goodbye Papa, please pray for me

I was the black sheep of the family

You tried to show 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 bird's are singing in the sky

Now that the spring is in the air

Little kids are everywhere

Think of me and 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

 

Goodbye Francoise, my trusted wife

Without you I'd had a lonely life

You cheated lots of times with them

But I forgave you in the end

Though your lover was my friend

 

Goodbye 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

 

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 joy and helped me find the sun

And every time when I was down

You would always come around

And get my feet back on the ground
