We've know each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A-B-C'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, think of me and I'll be there.
[Chorus:]
We had joy, we had fun, we had season in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
2. 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'll see them, I'll be there.
[Coda:]
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 flower everywhere, I wish that we could both be there.
