Try To Remember
Embracing September's Tender Memories
Lyrics
Try to remember the kind of September
Reflecting on a particular September, evoking nostalgia.
When life was slow and oh, so mellow
Describing a time when life was unhurried and peaceful.
Try to remember the kind of September
Repetition, emphasizing the specific atmosphere of September.
When grass was green and grain was yellow
Depicting nature with green grass and yellow grain.
Try to remember the kind of September
Reiterating the focus on the idyllic qualities of September.
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Recalling a time when the speaker was young and inexperienced.
Try to remember and if you remember
Encouraging the listener to remember this period.
Then follow, follow, follow
Emphasizing the importance of recollection and urging to follow those memories.
Try to remember when life was so tender
Reflecting on a time when life was delicate and sensitive.
That no one wept except the willow
Highlighting the emotional solitude of the willow tree.
Try to remember when life was so tender
Repeating the theme of tenderness in past experiences.
That dreams were kept beside your pillow
Emphasizing the innocence and proximity of dreams during that time.
Try to remember when life was so tender
Reiterating the tender nature of life in the past.
When love was an ember about to billow
Describing love as a small flame on the verge of expanding.
Try to remember and if you remember
Encouraging the listener to remember these sentiments.
Then follow
Reiterating the suggestion to follow the memories.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Shifting the focus to December, maintaining the theme of remembrance.
Although you know the snow will follow
Acknowledging the inevitable arrival of snow in December.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Repetition, stressing the positive act of remembering even in challenging times.
Without a hurt the heart is hollow
Expressing the emotional emptiness when hurt is absent.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember
Reinforcing the value of remembering the warmth and happiness of September.
The fire of September that made us mellow
Linking the warmth of September to a pleasant memory.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
Extending the idea of December as a time for heartfelt recollection.
And follow, follow, follow
Closing with the encouragement to follow, echoing the theme of embracing memories.
