Terry Jacks - Seasons In The Sun Lyrics






Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
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
Think of me and 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 got 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, have all gone

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons, have all 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 birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
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

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons, have all gone

All our lives 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

    Me and my aunt were sitting down listening to her old 45s the other day. when I put this song on to play she began to cry. When the song ended I asked why the song made her cry. She said that when you get to the end of your life you'll understand. She had just recently been diagnose with congestive heart failure. The doctors don't think she has many years left. She asked me if I would play this at her funeral. I promised her I would. I've been listen to this song over and over since then.

    I don’t understand. This is just a silly and harmless lullaby. Why is it considered one of the worst songs ever made??

    Is it? And by whom? I found out about it from my mom and i've never heard of it before (I'm from romania)

    D.... V....

    Chill Dude This came out in 1974, considered by many to be one of the worst years for music. And I can’t give names specifically, but if you look for this song on google, the word “worst” will appear.

    A few days ago, my sister was trying out a metallica cassette tape she found in a car that was about to be crushed, surprised to find it still worked. My mom was more surprised, however, that my sister's radio doubled as a cassette player. So my mom pulled out a bunch of old cassettes, and found some of her and her half-siblings singing christmas carols. A man's voice spoke, their father. My mom's dad died when she was fairly young, (maybe 14) so I never got to meet him, and it was the first time I had ever heard his voice. There was another tape, for my mom, of him playing guitar and singing a few songs. This was one of them, and since today is her birthday, I'm planning on singing it to her. Wish me luck

    C.... J....

    Metalica80's classic
