Try to Remember

Lyrics by Tom Jones
Music by Harvey Schmidt
from The Fantasticks

Performed by Harry Belafonte

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 was yellow Try to remember the kind of September When you were a tender and callow fellow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, 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 When love was an ember about to billow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, 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 a hurt the heart is hollow Deep in December it's nice to remember The fire of September that made you mellow Deep in December our hearts should remember And follow, follow, follow.
