    Lyrics:
    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 ABCs
    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
    #TerryJacks #SeasonsInTheSun #Vevo

    My dad died 12 hours ago, my last memory is a FaceTime call. He was 91, spent the last few weeks in bed. My dad and I actually climbed the hills and trees, he was a great hiker and climber. Thank you for being my dad , you were a witness of my life. Yesterday he started his last hike and reached the stars after midnight. He reached the end of the rainbow.

      Dad passed 31/3/2023. I heard this song many many years prior to that, fortunately.
      Because it has the perfect lyrics, in my mind.
      "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"
      For me this is true, or so it seems.
      So catching.
      March 31 and up to now skies were full of clouds, plenty of rain has fallen.
      And this week the skies opened up to show the sun again.
      And then, all of a sudden this song played on the radio.
      It really breaks my heart, like i am sure it does yours.

    Terry Jacks (the guy that wrote and sang Seasons in the Sun) lives in my small home town. He doesn't have a massive mansion or a fleet of Bentleys, but he never has to work, goes on lots of vacations, has a nice waterfront home, a nice boat, and lives a pretty normal existence. The best part is that he almost never gets recognized. It is the perfect mix of fame and fortune IMO.

    I started liking my first girl friend in 1963. We got married in 1967. She died of cancer in 2017, we were married for 50yrs, 6 months.
    I was holding her hand when she took her last breath. Today, I am 75 and I have often wondered- when did I get old? It was so slow but yet so fast.
    We listened to this song back in our youth but didn’t think much of it_--- until ( listened to it today. What memories it brought back to me.
    Life is short, don’t “wish” for tomorrow. We don’t know what it holds. Just enjoy every day-- one day at a time.

You never know what can happen but I will say this I lived my life to the full following my heart I exhausted the subject in every area you can imagine - but life does not end here - Jesus Christ revealed himself to me powerfully in a hotel room in my mid twenties when I wasn’t really even looking for him he just cornered me - Room 211 of the Comfort inn in Orlando Florida in the 90s - I knew then that God existed and he wants us to live with him forever. - so it’s not over - if your heart is open he will come. Try him and see. God bless you all ❤️

A month before he passed away his daughter, Michele, passed away at the age of seven from leukemia. This song so touched me. After his daughter passed away he no longer wanted to live and chose to drink and gave up on life. I can remember crying over and over as I listened to it and I still do.

      Without a doubt--I am now 58 years old and I remember listening to this when I was a teenager--it still sends chills down my spine. I also listen to this when I think of my Dad who passed in 1982 and my Mom in 1996 and my wife in 2017. Here I sit in my kitchen, in the house that I grew up in and listening to this song is bringing tears to my eyes. I am so grateful for this music.

      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
      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
      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

      I'm 60, so maybe a few years younger, but still of the same generation. I miss the boys (men) that never came home and am grateful to all who went. Parents shouldn't bury their children, it's out of order. I lost a 17-year-old son and am grateful for the 17 years but of course wish he had more. He had joined the Army Reserve a month before and when I told him he couldn't stay at a friend's house he said, "Mom, I'm in the Army. You know I'll be going to boot camp soon." So I decided to let him go. I hugged him and said, "Alright. Go ahead. Behave yourself and I love you." Whenever I find myself getting depressed, I do something outside or do something for someone else. Like, celebrate something with another family member, cook brownies for the teenagers across the street, bring some veggies to an elderly neighbor, or call my elderly aunt to check on her. Sometimes, when I let my mind go too far, I daydream about what he would have been (he was enrolling in nursing school at Baylor), if he'd have kids of his own, what he would be doing.....but that's a terrible mental path. I have to shake myself out of it or I'll end up in bed for days. Hoping that you find a bit of happiness here on earth.

    My mom use to sing this to me. It was always our song. This hits so hard. Never thought I would see her die in 89 when I was 12. This was her life. Mommy I still miss you so much still. ❤❤

      Sorry for your Loss. My first i said the L word to was named Michelle. I could not go to her Funeral as it hurt me too much. When my Mom passed away a few years back i did not go to her funeral. As i get older I can still feel my Mothers presence in Dreams. Which i have learned to Keep to myself.

      This song is impossible to hear without shedding tears - I lost my mother this August
      I heard this song first as an 8 year old and cried then as I knew it was about dying. 49 years later, I’m shedding tears to this song again - miss u mom

    My friend Died at 28, I was 30 then. This reminds me of him every time I hear it. I'm 62 now, many more family members have passed away since then. But it still brings me back to that day I was told he passed.

    My dad died 6 months ago. I got into my car yesterday feeling pretty down. This song came on and remember this was one of my favorites songs. My name is Michelle. My dad was an accomplished musician and know he was communicating to me that he can't wait for us to be together again. I bawled. I miss my dad. He was my best friend. We got each other... I lost that and there is a big space in my life. We would talk for hours before he passed. He was a great person. I love you dad.
