September Song - Ella Fitzgerald

When I was a young man courtin' the girls\nI played me a waiting game\nIf a maid refused me with tossing curls\nI let the old earth take a couple of whirls\nWhile I plied her with tears in lieu of pearl\nAnd as time came around she came my way\nAs time came around she came\nOh it’s a long long while from May to December\nBut the days grow short when you reach September\nWhen the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame\nOne hasn’t got time for the waiting game\nOh the days dwindle down to a precious few\nSeptember November and these few precious days I’ll spend with you\nThese precious days I’ll spend with you
