Eddy Arnold - September Song lyrics

When I was a young man courtin'

The girls I played me a waiting game

If a maid refused me with tossing curls

I let the old earth take a couple of whirls,

While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearl

And as time came around she came my way

As time came around she came.

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 the 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...
