Goodbye to you my trusted friend,
We've known each other since we were nine or ten,
Together we've climbed hills and trees,
Learned of love and ABC's,
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees,
Goodbye my friend its hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that 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 at a 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 papa, its hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that spring is in the air,
Little children everywhere.
if 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 have all gone.
We had joy we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun,
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone.
Goodbye Rochelle my little one,
You gave me love and helped me find the sun,
Everytime that i was down,
You would always come around and get my feet back on the ground.
Goodbye Rochelle its hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that spring is in the air,
Pretty flowers everywhere,
Think of me and i'll be there.
We had joy we had fun,
We had seasons in the sun,
But the stars that we reached were just starfish on the beach.

All our lives we had fun we had seasons in the sun,
