Try to remember the kind of September

When life was slow and, oh, so mellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When grass was green and grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When you were a tender and a callow fellow

Try to remember and if you remember

Then follow

Try to remember when life was so tender

That no one wept except the willow

Try to remember when life was so tender

And dreams were kept beside your pillow

Deep in December, it's nice to remember

The fire of September that made us mellow

Deep in December, it's nice to remember

And follow
