|
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. |
|
[chorus] |
|
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. |
|
[chorus} |
|
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 |
