When I was a young man caught in the girls I played me a waiting game If a maid refused me with tossing curls I let the old earth take a couple of whirls And this time came around that she came my way As time came around, she came Oh, it's a long, long time from May to December But the days grow short when you reach SeptemberWhen the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame One hasn't got time for the waiting game Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few September, NovemberAnd these few precious days, I'll spend with you These precious days, I'll spend with you September, NovemberThese few precious days, I'll spend with you These precious days, I'll spend with you
