Goodbye to you, my trusted friend,
we've known each oth'r 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 ev'ry where;
think of me and I'll be there.
We had joy, we had fun,
we had seasons in the sun;
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of 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 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 ev'ry where,
when you'll see them, I'll be there.
Chorus:
Goodbye, Michelle, my little one,
you gave me love and helped me find the sun;
and ev'ry 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 flowers ev'ry where
I wish that we could both 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.
