September
Earth Wind & Fire Throttle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love, remember
How we knew love was here to stay
Now December found the love that we shared in September
Only blue talk and love, remember
The true love we share today
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
The bell was ringing
And our souls were singing
Do you remember
Never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
Break it down for me (say do you remember)
Dancing in September
Ba de ya
Say do you remember (Do you remember?)
Ba de ya, dancing in September (dancing in September)
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
Uh huh! (bring it back now)
Dancing in September, uh huh!
All the way down to the summer
