Seasons in the Sun Lyrics

[Intro]
Go, Krist


[Verse 1]
Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
And all the flowers are everywhere
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

[Verse 2]
Goodbye Papa, please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family

And I don't know all these words
I had boggy turds
With my BB gun I would kill birds


[Chorus]
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

All our lives, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the world that we reached
Were just starfish on the beach
[Verse 3]
Goodbye Michelle, my little one
I was the apple of the shining sun
Another apple out of reach
All my tears are salty
I think now I was taught to weep

[Chorus]
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
All the hills that we climb
Were the seasons out of time

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

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climb
Were just seasons out of time

Oh the joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars that we reached
Were just starfish on the beach

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
