--------------------- LYRICS: ---------------------
1a. All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winters day
1b. Id be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
R. California dreamin'
On such a winters day
2a. Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
2b. You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
R. California dreamin'
On such a winters day
3=1a. All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winters day
3b. If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
R. California dreamin'
On such a winters day
R. California dreaming
On such a winters day
R. California dreaming
On such a winters day

Seasons in the Sun" was a worldwide hit song for Terry Jacks in 1974. It was first released in the United States and Canada early in the year, and rose to number one in America by March 2. An earlier recording appeared on The Kingston Trio's 1963 album, Time to Think. The song had also been done by English band The Fortunes in 1968, and by Pearls Before Swine in 1970/71.
The song was based on "Le Moribond" ("The Dying Man"), written by Jacques Brel in 1961. Brel's song was translated into English by poet Rod McKuen and this version was first recorded by Bob Shane of the Kingston Trio, but it did not sell. The Beach Boys also recorded the song but it was never released.
Terry Jacks, who had participated in the Beach Boys recording, and who had in fact introduced the song to the group, rewrote part of the lyrics to "lighten them up." Jacks' revisions tended to add a bit of ambiguity as to the nature of the storyteller's demise, allowing listeners the option to choose whether the death is from suicide over a failed life - quite possibly to escape drug addiction - or someone accepting death from natural causes, or cancer. References to a cheating wife were also removed.

I can almost hear you sigh
I can almost hear you cry
On every crowded street
All the places we would meet
What will I do without you
They say that life goes on
I'm feeling sorry for myself
I can't believe you're gone
You acted much too calm
You turned on all your charm
You had a cold look in your eyes
I can feel your tounge on mine
Silky smooth like wine
I'm living with these memories
That's all that's left of you and me
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
And you turned on all the charm
Acted much too calm
You had a cold look in your eyes
Did it mean nothing
Was it all in vain
Was I just your fool
Or was the pleasure pain
Have you set me free
Or will I wake up
In the morning
And find out it's been a bad dream
Come on, I beg you
I want to be your main man
I can almost hear you sigh
Almost hear you cry
When you made sweet love to me
Almost see your smile
It stretched half a mile
You had a stone cold look in your eyes
