Try To Remember
B.J. Ward Lyrics

Try to remember the kind of September,
Reflect on the time in September when life was slow and serene.

When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Recall a September when life was leisurely and calm.

When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Picture a September when nature was in full bloom and crops were ready for harvest.

Try to remember the kind of September,
Think back to a September that brings back fond memories.

When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Recall a time when you were young, inexperienced and full of potential.

Try to remember, and if you remember,
Make an effort to reminisce and if you are successful,

Then follow (follow) follow (follow) follow
Take action and follow the positive path of those memories.

Try to remember when life was so tender,
Think back to a time when life was innocent and delicate.

That no one wept except the willow,
Remember a time when sadness was a rare occurrence.

Try to remember when life was so tender,
Recall a time when life was fragile and easy to cherish.

That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Think back to when your dreams were always with you, giving you hope and inspiration.

Try to remember when life was so tender,
Retain the memory of a time when emotions were pure and heartfelt.

That love was an ember about to billow,
Remember when love was just beginning to blossom and grow.

Try to remember, and if you remember,
Make an effort to recall, and if you succeed,

Then follow (follow) follow,
Take action and let the memories guide you down a positive path.

(follow, deep in December it's nice to remember,
Use the memory of September to improve spirits even deep in December.

Although you know the snow will follow.
Remember that although winter is coming, positive memories can still provide warmth and comfort.

Deep in December it's nice to remember,
Recall the pleasant September memories to uplift during darker, colder months.

Without a hurt the heart is hollow.)
A heart without pain or love has no depth, so cherish the positive experiences in life.

Deep in December it's nice to remember,
During the harsh, chilly month of December, it’s uplifting to recollect happier times.

The fire of September that made us mellow.
Recall the comfort of the warm memories from September that made our hearts soften.

Deep in December our heart's should remember,
As December progresses, we should all recall the joyous times from September.

And follow (follow) follow (follow) follow
Use those memories as a guide to follow a positive path.
