• 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 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

  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
  These precious days
  I’ll spend with you
