Try To Remember (From "The Fantasticks")

Try to remember the kind of September

When life was slow and oh, so mellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When grass was green and grain so yellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When you were a young and callow fellow

Try to remember and if you remember, then follow

Try to remember when life was so tender

That no one wept except the willow

Try to remember when life was so tender that

Dreams were kept beside your pillow

Try to remember when life was so tender that

Love was an ember about to billow

Try to remember and if you remember then follow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

Although you know the snow will follow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

Without the hurt the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

The fire of September that made us mellow

Deep in December our hearts should remember then follow

Then follow
