There's a time in late September when the leaves begin to fall And the shore is empty, ready to surrender Picket fences seem to linger as the wind begins to blow And the traces in the sand are getting slender I don't want to say goodbye Like the summer days I'll miss you Seasons change but we must try How can I forget I kissed you? I don't want to say goodbye Like the summer days I'll miss you Seasons change but we must try How can I forget I kissed you? There's a place that I remember where we secretly could go Just to whisper magic in the moonlight splendor There's a place down by the water where the birds of summer show Just before they fly away in late September I don't want to say goodbye Like the summer days I'll miss you Seasons change but we must try How can I forget I kissed you? I don't want to say goodbye Like the summer days I'll miss you Seasons change but we must try How can I forget I kissed you? I don't want to say goodbye
