Goodbye to you, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we're nine or ten
Together we've 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 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
Wonder how I got along.
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
Little children everywhere
When you'll 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 hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time.
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
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.
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun;
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach.
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun;
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time.
