September by Thompson Brothers Band Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was just nineteen years old
She had more than a decade on me
But it barely showed
And we were dancing slow
A young man’s only looking for adventure
She was trying to heal her soul
I had my eyes set on that big, wide world
She was trying to let go

[Chorus]
I remember September
When I should have been back in school
I should have been riding that bus back to San Antone
Instead of cruising out to Malibu
I remember her sweet love
Looking down on the lights of town
Underneath the blankets
She was starting over
And I was just starting out
I remember September
[Verse 2]
The future and the past were tangled in our hands
There was a sweetness and a sadness to her touch
I knew that she would move on sooner than later
But I wanted that girl so much

[Chorus]
I remember September
When I should have been back in school
I should have been riding that bus back to San Antone
Instead of cruising out to Malibu
I remember her sweet love
Looking down on the lights of town
Underneath the blankets
She was starting over
And I was just starting out
I remember September

[Bridge]
My thoughts turn back as the summer cools down
Her memory grows colder every time the leaves turn brown

[Chorus]
And I remember her sweet love
Looking down on the lights of town
Underneath the blankets
She was starting over
And I was just starting out
[Outro]
I remember September
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I remember September
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I remember September
