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
