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 Cs, 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 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, Little children everywhere, When 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. 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 When all the birds are singing in the sky. Now that spring is in the air With your lovers everywhere; Just be careful, I'll be there. All our lives we had fun. We had seasons in the sun, But the hills we would climb were just seasons out of time. Adieu, Emile. Adieu, Papa. Adieu, Francoise. All our lives 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.
