Verse 1
Try to re-me-mber the kind of Sep-te-mber
when life was slow and oh, so mel-low.
Try to re-me-mber the kind of Sep-te-mber
when grass was green and grain was yel-low.
Try to re-me-mber the kind of Sep-te-mber
when you were a ten-der and cal-low fel-low.
Try to re-me-mber, and if you re-me-mber, then fol-low –
Verse 2
Try to re-me-mber when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to re-me-mber when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to re-me-mber when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to re-me-mber, and if you re-me-mber, then follow --

Verse 3
Deep in December it's nice to re-me-mber,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to re-me-mber
Without a hurt, the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to re-me-mber
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should re-me-mber, and follow,
