Try to Remember from "The Fantasticks"

 

Try to remember the kind of September 

When life was slow and oh so mellow 

Try to remember the kind of September 

When grass was green and grain so yellow 

Try to remember the kind of September 

When you were a young and a callow fellow 

Try to remember and if you remember 

Then follow--follow, oh-oh 

Try to remember when life was so tender 

That no one wept except the willow 

Try to remember when life was so tender 

That dreams were kept beside your pillow 

Try to remember when life was so tender 

That love was an ember about to billow 

Try to remember and if you remember 

Then follow--follow, oh-oh 

Deep in December it's nice to remember 

Although you know the snow will follow 

Deep in December it's nice to remember 

Without a hurt, the heart is hollow 

Deep in December it's nice to remember 

The fire of September that made you mellow 

Deep in December our hearts should remember 

Then follow
