Try To Remember

In yesterday's post, I mentioned that the song "Try To Remember" (which I initially mis-identified as "September Song," a whole 'nother tune), made me think of fall.

Of course, then the song was in my head for the rest of the day - and is still there today.

And it is a song about fall, but also not.  Kinda.  Sorta.  But not.  At least, not really about fall as a season of weather, leaves, and cool days.  Except, it is in a way.

I find it to be a very sweet, poignant song, and can remember feeling that way even as a child.

So, here it is for those of you who may not be familiar with it. (Now it can float around in your head for a few days, too.)

I found this version of Josh Groban singing it, and the lyrics are below.

And so goes NaBloPoMo Day #9.

Try To Remember

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 then 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 altho 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.
