Oh what a day it was
Everything was so clear
There's something about that day
I could feel it in the air
Ooh Suddenly I knew
Why I felt that way
The moment I laid eyes on you
Girl, I just had to say
Please let me be the one
You give your love to
If we reminisce
Through all of this
That's how we make
Everyday anew

Barry White's song September When I First Met You is a classic love song with a deep meaning. The lyrics talk about the September when the singer first met the love of his life. The song is all about reminiscing the day and how it was so clear and how he felt that day once he had laid eyes upon her. The lyrics express how the singer felt so sure that he had found the one and how he had to say, "Please let me be the one you give your love to." The lyrics beautifully express how the love between the two people makes every day anew.
The second part of the song talks about how the singer planned the night to be perfect with everything planned, the things he would say, and do, and how he would hold her hand. But, as the moment arrived, all his plans became meaningless, and he could not say anything as she rushed into his arms. The song ends with the repetition of September and remember, making it clear that the singer wants the love of his life to never forget the day they first met and the love that they share.
This song is a testament to the depth of love and how time seems to stand still when the right person comes along. It is a reminder to cherish the moments that we share with the people that matter the most in our lives.

Can't get enough of his music. I think he just has this magical effect on everyone....simply a legend! I adored his songs when I was a teenager and I still feel the same exact way after 65 years old!
