Cat Stevens – Seasons In The Sun

goodbye to you, my trusted friend

we’ve known each other since we’re nine or ten

together we climbed hills or trees

learned of love and abc’s

skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

goodbye my friend, 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

when you see them i’ll be there

we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

but the hills that we climbed

were just seasons out of time

goodbye, 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 get along

goodbye, 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 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, all have gone

goodbye, michelle, my little one

you gave me love and helped me find the sun

and every time that i was down

you would always come around

and get my feet back on the ground

goodbye, michelle, it’s hard to die

when all the bird are singing in the sky

now that the spring is in the air

with the flowers ev’rywhere

i wish that we could both be there

we had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun

but the stars we could reach

were just starfish on the beach…
