Try to Remember
Cherishing September's Gentle Embrace: A Reflection on Time's Sweet Echo
Lyrics
Try to remember the kind of September
Reflecting on a specific September, encouraging reminiscence.
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Recalling a time when life was unhurried and serene.
Try to remember the kind of September
Reiterating the focus on a particular September, emphasizing nostalgia.
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Describing a vivid September with lush greenery and golden grains.
Try to remember the kind of September
Continuing the emphasis on the idyllic qualities of that particular September.
When you were a tender and callow fellow,
Reflecting on the speaker's youth and inexperience during that time.
Try to remember and if you remember the follow.
Encouraging the listener to remember and suggesting a subsequent reflection.
Try to remember when life was so tender
Recalling a time when life was delicate and sensitive.
That no one wept except the willow.
Expressing a sentiment that only the willow tree shed tears during that gentle period.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
Reiterating the tenderness of life and its impact on dreams.
Dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Highlighting the closeness of dreams, symbolized by their proximity to the pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
Stressing the delicate nature of life and the burgeoning of love.
Love was an ember about to billow.
Describing love as a smoldering ember on the verge of expanding.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.
Encouraging the listener to remember these tender moments.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Shifting to a different time, suggesting December as a contrasting period.
Although you know the snow will follow.
Acknowledging the inevitability of challenges (symbolized by snow) even in December.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Repeating the idea that remembering is comforting despite the challenges.
Without the hurt the heart is hollow.
Expressing that without hardship, the heart lacks depth and substance.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Recalling a warm memory of the fire in September that brought mellowness.
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Associating the remembered warmth with the cold of December.
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
Concluding with a call to cherish and follow the memories in our hearts.
