Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten 
Together we climbed hills or trees 
Learned of loves and ABCs 
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 spring is in the air 
Pretty girls are everywhere
When you see them I'll be there 

We had joy, we had fun 
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed 
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 get 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 everywhere 
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 all have gone 

Goodbye Michelle, my little one 
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And everytime 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'rywhere 
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach 
Were just starfishs on the beach
