Two Franks - Frank Foster, Frank Wess, Count Basie

I can still see you standing there

Summer tangled in your hair

First week of July

First day of my life.

My voice swhen I said hello

and from that word we couldn’t take it slow

I still can’t believe

the way you looked at me.

Now the nights turn colder

your head’s on my shoulder

we do our best to pretend.

Waves get louder

I’m lost without her

as summer starts to end.

Let’s blame it on September

'cause is hurts to remember.

We can fight to hold on

but August is gone

And even if the sun falls

I hope we don’t lose it all

'cause no summer lasts forever.

Let’s blame it on September.

We drew hearts there in the sand

laughed when waves erased our plans

No we never knew

they told the truth.

I can still hear our laughing friends

as we’d sneak off again and again

No we never cared

too young to be scared.

The night turn colder

your head’s on my shoulder

as summer starts to end.

Let’s blame it on September

'cause is hurts to remember.

We can fight to hold on

but August is gone

And even if the sun falls

I hope we don’t lose it all

'cause no summer lasts forever.

On the beach in the heat

you know I needed that sweet ocean air.

We’re gonna go where I know we can be alone

I’ll wait for you, wait for you there.

Blame it on September.

We can try to hold on

but August is gone.

Let’s blame it on September

'cause is hurts to remember.

We can fight to hold on

but August is gone

When the sun falls

I hope we don’t lose it all

'cause no summer lasts forever.

Let’s blame it on September.

Blame it on September.

I can still see you standing there

summer tangled in your hair.
