Season In The Sun

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
we've known each other since we were nine or ten
together we climbed hills and trees
learned of love and abc's
skinned our heart and skinned our knees

goodbye my friend it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky
now the 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 season in the sun
but the hills that we climbed were just season 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 then I'll be there

we had joy we had fun we had season in the sun
but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
we had joy we had fun we had season 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 season in the sun
but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time

we had joy we had fun
we had season in the sun
but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

we had joy we had fun
we had season in the sun
but the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

In my opinion, this song is describe about someone's past living experience, the way he growth, and those people who did play a role in his or her life.

The author might have been betrayed by his trusted friend, that's why he is saying goodbye to him. The author felt guilty towards his father too because he always go to the wrong way. His father then play a role to teach him right from wrong. The author did appreciated his friendship between Michelle and him. He was glad because Michelle always stand by him to listen to his problem and every time when he feeling down, Michelle will always come around.

However, all these wonderful things had all gone now. The author was lost. But he can't bear to leave this beautiful world when he looking at the birds in the sky. In other words, the author does not brave enough to commit suicide although he is feeling bad.
