Task 5
Listen to a song, Seasons in the Sun,and fill in the blanks with what you hear.
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 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
