The leaves of brown came tumblin' down, remember
In September in the rain

The sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain

Though spring is here, to me it's still September
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain

Though spring is here, to me it's still September
That September in the rain
That September in the rain

as rec by Arthur Tracy  1930's


My daydreams lie buried in Autumn leaves,
They're covered in Autumn rain.
The time is sweet September,
The place a shady lane;
I'm riding the wings of an Autumn breeze,
Back to my memories.

The leaves of brown came tumbling down, remember,
In September, in the rain.
The sun went out just like a dying ember,
That September, in the rain.

To every word of love I heard you whisper,
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here to me it's still September
That September, in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper,
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here to me it's still September,
That September, in the rain.
