SEASONS IN THE SUN
Lyric by Rod McKuen
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Chorus
WE HAD JOY, WE HAD FUN,
WE HAD SEASONS IN THE SUN,
BUT THE HILLS WE WOULD CLIMB
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,
Verse 1
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 - C’s,
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 SPRING IS IN THE AIR,
PRETTY GIRLS ARE EV’RYWHERE,
THINK OF ME AND I’LL BE THERE,
Chorus (Repeat Chorus)
Verse 2
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 I GOT ALONG,
ADIEU, PAPA, IT’S HARD TO DIE,
WHEN ALL THE BIRDS ARE SINGING IN THE SKY,
NOW THAT SPRING IS IN THE AIR,
PRETTY GIRLS ARE EV’RYWHERE,
THINK OF ME AND I’LL BE THERE,
Chorus (Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
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,
THO’ 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,
PRETTY GIRLS ARE EV’RYWHERE,
THINK OF ME AND I’LL BE THERE,
Chorus (Repeat Chorus)
(Le Moribond)
