Seasons In The Sun Lyrics

Seasons In The Sun lyrics

Rod McKuen/Jacques Brel



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 A B Cs, skinned our
hearts and skinned our knees.

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 ev'rywhere. Think of me and I'll be there.



Chorus:

We had joy. We had sun. We had seasons in the sun, but the hills we would climb
were just seasons out of time.



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 we got along.

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 ev'rywhere. When you see them, I'll be there.



(Chorus)



Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife, without you I'd have had a lonely life.

You cheated lots of times but then, I forgave you in the end though your lover
was my friend.

Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die when all the birds are singing in the sky.
Now that spring is in the air

With your lovers ev'rywhere; just be careful, I'll be there.



All our lives we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, but the hills we would
climb were just season out of time.



Adieu, Emile. Adieu, Papa. Adieu, Francoise.



All our lives, we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, but the hills that we
climbed were just seasons out of time.

All our lives, we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, but the stars we could
reach were just starfish on the beach.
