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.
