Seasons in the Sun by Westlife..

         One of my favorites through the ages; both, the band 'Westlife' and the song 'Seasons in the Sun'. Some say that this was sung by a person who was about to be hanged.  But before coming to know the background I always thought that this was really a 'good bye' song. Soon after getting a clue of what the song really meant, the whole meaning changed. It is one of the best I've ever enjoyed singing and playing it  on the piano. Sharing the song and the lyrics with you.

[Kian:]
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 ABC's 
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees 

[Bryan:]
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 
Think of me and I'll be there 

[All:]
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun 
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time 

[Shane:]
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 

[Mark:]
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

[All:]
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 

[Nicky:]
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 

[Shane:]
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 

[All:]
We had joy 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 
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 hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time 
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun 
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
