It's that time of year
When the wild geese fly
When the sun shines through
A crystal sky
When the autumn wind
Blows through the trees
When the pathways are
A carpet of gold leaves
That time of year
When the streams gush along
And i will sing
This September song
It's that time of year
When the wind wolves howl
When the forest floor echoes
The hoot of the owl
When the trees are bare
When the lilies bloom
When the grass grows brown
'Neath a harvest moon
That time of year
When the nights are so long
So i will sing
This September song.
That time of year
When nothing goes wrong
And i will sing
My September song.
