The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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.
