Lyrics：Brel/Mckuen
Music：Brel/Mckuen
(F#)Goodbye to you, my trusted (F#)friend.
(F#)We've known each other since we're (G#m)nine or ten.
(C#)Together we've climbed hills or (F#)trees.
(F#)Learned of love and AB(G#m)C's,
skinned our (C#)hearts and skinned our (F#)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 (F#)joy, we had fun,
we had (G#m)seasons in the sun.
But the (C#7)hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of (F#)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 starfishs on the beach.
