SEASONS IN THE SUN

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 ABCs

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 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

I 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 wine and the song, like the seasons, all have gone

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

But the wine and the song, like the seasons, all have gone

Goodbye, Michelle, my little one

You gave me love and helped me find the sun

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
