Jean, Jean, roses are red
All the leaves have gone green
And the clouds are so low
You can touch them, and so
Come out to the meadow, Jean.

— Rod McKuen Music to The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1968)

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)

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.

Seasons in the Sun (1961)

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