September
\cool and the gang Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When we were you - and so naive
Emotions turned - in our hearts
When love was young - we promised and believed
In one love - and our dreams

Couldn't save it girl oh no
Time put us worlds apart and out of control
But I love you now as always

Woman those memories live inside me every day

Oh how I remember [I still remember September love]
In the heat of the night [I still remember September
dreams]
When the love bites [Do you remember our September
song]
And I want your love right now [I still remember
September love]
[September Love]

Passions would flow - when love was won
Endlessly and everlasting
Yes we have grown from this love we've known
And our dreams - never lasting

Couldn't save it girl oh no [How I remember your face]
Time put us worlds apart and out of control
That love song made just for us
Woman those memories live inside me every day

Oh how I remember [I still remember September love]
In the heat of the night [I still remember September
dreams]
When the love bites [Do you remember our September
song]
Such a lovely song [I still remember September love]
Oh yeah

September's gone
September song
And I wanna hold you near me right now

[I still remember September love]
In the heat of the night [I still remember September
dreams]
When the love bites [Do you remember our September
song]
And I need your love right now [I still remember
September love]

When I held you close to me
