Adieu, Emile, my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and A B Cs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Adieu, Emile, 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 we would climb
Were just seasons out of time
Adieu, 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
Adieu, 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 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
Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife
Without you I'd have had a lonely life
You cheated lots of times but then
I forgave you in the end
Though your lover was my friend
Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With your lovers everywhere
Just be careful, I'll be there
All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
Adieu, Emile
Adieu, Papa
Adieu, Francoise
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 stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach
