The Beach Boys - Seasons In The Sun lyrics

[Verse 1] Adieu Emile, my trusted friend We've known each other since we were 9 or 10 Together we climbed hills and trees Learned of love and ABCs 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 everywhere Think of me and I'll be there [Chorus] We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time [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 Wondered how I got along Adieu Papa it's hard to die (ahhh, ahh, ahh) When all the birds are singing in the sky (ahhh, ahh, ahh) Now that the spring is in the air (ahhh, ahh, ahh) Little children everywhere (ahhh, ahh, ahh) When you see them I'll be there (ba ba) [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 Though your lover was my friend Adieu Francoise it's hard to die (ahhh, ahh, ahh) When all the birds are singing in the sky (ahhh, ahh, ahh) Now that the spring is in the air (ahhh, ahh, ahh) With your lovers everywhere (ahhh, ahh, ahh) Just be careful I'll be there (ba, ba) [Outro] All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun (ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba) But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach (ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba) All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun (ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba) But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach (ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba) (ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)[repeat until fade]
