Adieu, Francoise, my trusted wife;
Without you I'd have had a lonely life.
You cheated lots of times but then,
I forgave you in the end
Though your lover was my friend.

— Rod McKuen Seasons in the Sun (1961)

Adieu, Francoise, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky.

Seasons in the Sun (1961)

While the hills are ablaze with the moon's yellow haze
Come into my arms, bonnie Jean.

Jean, Jean, you're young and alive
Come out of your half-dreamed dream
And run, if you will, to the top of the hill
Open your arms, bonnie Jean.

Music to The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1968)

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the days of our years
Will rise on that morn.

If We Only Have Love (1968)

We have only love,
to help us find our way,
as we go out into the world.
So... like laughing children we’ll go
singing love wherever we go.
