When I think of you and all the happiness we knew
Something deep inside denies it ever could be true
Sweet September rain if you would please return again
And tell me, was it oh so easy your bet to deceive me then?
(Chorus:)
Such a sweet September, it's the time I will remember
All my life that memory will haunt my dreams
And I'll miss you, just to kiss you would be heaven, and it seems
When you've lost your lover, there's a feeling you discover
That you're lost and such a long, long way home
I'll remember that September, though we'll never meet again.
Shades of red and brown the autumn leaves fall to the ground
And they seem to say, so ends the love that you have found
Sweet September rain if you would please return again
And tell me, why it had to be so, tell me why did she go then?
Chorus (bis)
