One day you turn around and it's summer Next day you turn around and it's fall And all the winters and the springs Of a lifetime Whatever happened to them all As a man who has always had the wand'ring ways I keep looking back to yesterdays 'Til a long-forgotten love appears And I find that I'm sighing softly as I near September the warm September of my years As a man who has never paused at wishing wells Now I'm watching children's carousels And their laughter's music to my ears And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near September the warm September of my years The golden warm September of my years
