(From the Musical: The Fantasticks) |

|
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 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, |
|
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 nice to remember, |
|
Although you know the snow will follow; |
|
Deep in December, it's nice to remember, |
|
Without a hurt the heart is hollow; |
|
Deep in December, it's nice to remember, |
|
The fire of September that makes us mellow. |
|
Try to remember, and if you remember, then follow. |
