Oh, it's a long, long while |
|
From May 'till December |
|
And the days grow short |
|
When you reach September |
|
When the autumn weather |
|
Turns the leaves to flame |
|
One that hasn't got time |
|
For the waiting game |
|
For 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 |
|
When you meet with a young man 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 and day |
|
And a plentiful waste of time |
|
But it's a long, long while |
|
From May 'till December |
|
When the autumn weather |
|
Turns the leaves to flame |
|
For 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 |
