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
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 the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are ev'rywhere
Think of me
And I'll be there
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
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 the spring is in the air
Little children ev'rywhere
When you'll see them, I'll be there
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
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
I'ts hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the 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 stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
