Lyrics:
Good-bye Lew, my trusty friend.
We've known each other since we were nine or ten.
Together we've climbed hills and trees.
Learned of love through ABC,
Skinned out hearts and skinned our knees.
Good-bye my friend, ít's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky.
Now, that 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 that we've climbed were the seasons out of time
Good-bye 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.
Good-bye papa, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky.
Now that spring is in the air,
Little children ev'rywhere
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.
Good-bye Michelle, my little one.
You gave me love and helped me find the sun.
And ev´ry time that I was down,
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground.
Good-bye Michelle, it's hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky.
Now that 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 the starfish on the beach.
All our nights we had fun, we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we've climbed were the seasons out of time.
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 hills that we've climbed...
