Lyrics for Song: Seasons In The Sun
Lyrics for Album: Love Theme From The Godfather / Way We Were [2002]
we had joy,
we had fun,
we had seasons in the sun;
but the hills we would climb
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.
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-c's,
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]
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 i 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'll 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,
tho' your lover was my friend.
adieu, francoise,
i'ts hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky;
now that the 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 stars we could reach
were just starfish on the beach

About Seasons In The Sun
Andy Williams' "Seasons In The Sun" stands as a definitive example of his mastery in blending traditional pop balladry with lush orchestral arrangements. Originally recorded for the soundtrack of the film *The Godfather*, the track exemplifies Williams' signature style, characterized by his distinctive vocal delivery and sophisticated harmonic structures. While the song gained immense popularity in the United Kingdom, where it became a massive hit, its inclusion on the *Love Theme From The Godfather / Way We Were* album highlights its versatility within Williams' broader discography. The recording captures the essence of mid-to-late 20th-century American pop, serving as a timeless piece that showcases the artist's ability to craft emotionally resonant melodies that transcend specific cultural boundaries. |
