Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've been known each other since we were nine or ten
Together, we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our kneesGoodbye, 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 thereWe had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of timeGoodbye, 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 alongGoodbye, 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'll see them, I'll be thereWe had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all goneGoodbye 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 groundGoodbye 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 thereAll our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beachWe had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of timeWe had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all goneWe had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
