September Song Lyrics by Theodore Bikel

In My Own Lifetime - 12 Musical Theater Classics

0

[Verse 1]
When I was a young man courting the girls
I played me a waiting game
When a maid refused me with tossing curls
I let that old earth take a couple of whirls
While I plied her with tears in place of pearls
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around she came
[Chorus]
Oh, it's a long, long while
From May to December
And the days grow short
When you reach September
When the autumn weather
Turns the lеaves to flame
One hasn't got timе
For any 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
[Verse 2]
When you meet with a young man early in spring
They court you in song and rhyme
They woo you with words and a clover ring
But if you examine the goods that they bring
They have little to offer but the songs they sing
And a plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
When the autumn weather
Turns the leaves to flame
One hasn't got time
For any waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
And these few golden days
I'll spend with you
These golden days
I'll spend with you
