September Song Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

When I was a young man courtin' the girls 

I played me a waiting game 

If a maid refused me with tossing curls 

I let the old earth take a couple of whirls 

While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearl 

And as time came around she came my way 

As time came around she came 

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
