Goodbye to you my trusted friend We've known each other 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 everywhere 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 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 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 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 Have all gone We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the Sun But the wine and the song like the seasons Have all gone Goodbye Michelle my little one You gave me love and helped me find the Sun And every 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 everywhere 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 starfish on the beach We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the Sun But the stars we could reach Were just starfish on the beach 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 hills that we climbed were just seasons Out of time We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the Sun

A versão em inglês, “Seasons in the Sun”, foi escrita por Rod McKuen em 1963, reescrevendo os versos originais de Jacques Brel que falam de um adeus de um homem moribundo.
Embora a canção original de Brel tenha alcançado apenas o 20.º lugar nas paradas da região walloniana em setembro de 1961, a adaptação em inglês de Terry Jacks transformou‑se em um sucesso mundial em 1974.
Em 1999, a mesma faixa foi regravada pelo boy band irlandês Westlife e chegou ao número um no chart de Natal do Reino Unido, demonstrando a durabilidade da música em diferentes gerações.
O sucesso internacional de Terry Jacks fez com que “Seasons in the Sun” fosse uma das canções mais reconhecíveis do século XX, apesar de suas origens em um tema belga de 1961.
