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 so yellow

Try to remember

The kind of September

When you were a young

And gallow 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

That dreams were kept

Beside your pillow

Try to remember

When life was so tender

That love was an ember

About to billow

Try to remember

And, if you remember

Then follow

Deep in December

It's nights to remember

Although you know

The snow will follow

Deep in December

It's nights to remember

Without a hurt

The heart is hollow

Deep in December

It's nights to remember

The fire in September

That made you mellow

Deep in December

Our hearts should remember

Then follow

Then follow
