SEPTEMBER SONG by SINATRA

This is one of my all-time favorite songs and the lyrics become more and more relevant as the years go by!


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
And as time came around she came my way
As time came around, she came.

Oh, it's a long, long time 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

September, November.
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you.

SEPTEMBER SONG by Sinatra

We welcome the beginning of a new month in this pandemic year, hoping that things get better as the months fly by.  Sinatra's song refers mainly to the passage of time and the fact that, as we grow older, time is much too precious to waste!

The song was featured in his 1962 album POINT OF NO RETURN although it had been recorded by him before and would appear in different versions later on, but this one is my favorite. The songs on this album were recorded on September of 1961 and were the final sessions at Capitol Records.
Sinatra then moved on to his own label, Reprise.
