Seasons In The Sun Matty Lyrics
Original lyrics by Terry Jacks. Instrumental by David Monk <OldGuitarMonkey@mail.com>

Goodbye to you, our little one.
We’ve been together since you were very young
Just a puppy much beloved
A special gift from far above
Sixteen years of endless love
Goodbye our friend, why must you die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
With the flowers everywhere.
We wish that we could all 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 Matty, we’ll pray for thee
You were the sunshine of the family
We had to teach you right and wrong,
But so much fun and so much song
That is how we got along
Goodbye Matty, it’s time to go
The hurt is more than you will ever know
Now that spring is in the air.
Little children everywhere.
When we see them please be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the time and the song,
like the seasons, have all have gone.

Goodbye our love, our little one
You gave us love and helped us find the sun.
And every time that we were down
you would always come around
and get our feet back on the ground.
And now Matty, we say good bye
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Pretty things are everywhere.
When we see them, you’ll be there.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
And the stars that we’ll reach
are the love that we unleash.
