Introduction,
The Original Song
1
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.
2
Try
to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow, follow, follow . . .
3
Try
to remember when life was so tender,
The no one wept except the willow,
Try to remember when life was so tender,
The dreams were kept beside your pillow.
4
Try
to remember when life was so tender,
The love was an ember about to billow,
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow, follow, follow . . .
5
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.
6
Deep
in December it`s nice to remember,
The fire of September the made us mellow.
Deep in December our heart`s should remember,
And follow, follow, follow . . .
