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 a callow fellow 
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow--follow, oh-oh 

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-follow, oh-oh

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 you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember
Then follow
