Lyrics

Rod mckuen/jacques brel

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 ev'rywhere. think of me and I'll be there

Chorus:
We had joy. we had sun. 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 we 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

(Chorus)

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 spring is in the air
With your lovers ev'rywhere; just be careful, I'll be there

All our lives we had fun. we had seasons in the sun, but the hills we would climb were just season out of time

Adieu, emile. adieu, papa. adieu, francoise

All our lives, 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 stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach
