Try to Remember
尚雯婕 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 young and a callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember
Then follow
follow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When no one wept except the willow
Try to remember when life was so tender
When 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 will hollow
Deep in December it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember




Then follow
follow
