johnny mathis - september song lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was a young man courting the girls
i played me a waiting game
if a maid refused me with tossing curls
i’d let the old earth take a couple of whirls
while i plied her with tears in lieu of pearls
and as time came around she came my way
as time came around she came

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
when you meet with the young men early in spring
they court you in song and rhyme
they woo you with words and a clover ring
but if you examine the goods they bring
they have little to offer but the songs they sing
and a plentiful waste of time of day
a plentiful waste of time
[chorus]
oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
september, november
and these few precious days i’ll spend with you
these golden days i’ll spend with you
