One day you turn around and it's
summer
Next day you turn around and
it's fall
And the springs and the winters
of a lifetime
Whatever happened to them all?
As a man who has always had the
wand'ring ways
Now I'm reaching back for
yesterdays
'Til a long-forgotten love
appears
And I find that I'm sighing
softly as I near
September, the warm September of
my years
As I man who has never paused at
wishing wells
Now I'm watching children's
carousels
And their laughter's music to my
ears
And I find that I'm smiling
gently as I near
September, the warm September of
my years
The golden warm September of my
years
