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 the 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 the 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, follow, follow
