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 made us mellow
Deep in December
Our hearts should remember
And follow
