Lyrics:

Goodbye 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 ABC’s
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye 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 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 birds 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
All our lives we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills we could climb were just seasons out of time
Bye 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
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
All our lives 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 we could climb were just seasons out of time
All our lives 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
Stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
All our lives we had fun we had seasons in the sun
The hills we could climb were just seasons out of time
