When you compare your lifetime to a year, you begin to realize how little time you have before your time is up. And the days grow short when you reach September. Now October's days are almost done, but what a golden month it has been.
September Song
Oh, it's a long long while
From May to December
But the days grow short
When you reach September
When the autumn weather
Turns leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you
These precious days
I'll spend with you
Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
From May to December
But the days grow short
When you reach September
When the autumn weather
Turns leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I'll spend with you
These precious days
I'll spend with you
Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
September Song was written by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson for the 1938 musical Knickerbocker Holiday.
My favorite rendition of the song was by Willie Nelson on his 1978 Stardust album.
