It was a day in his boyhood
A fine day to remember
A boy learning of love
A bright day in September
Never before had he seen
A smile so sweet
To give his young heart
More reason to beat
Her eyes of mystery
Pulling him through love’s door
Her song in his heart
For evermore
Old and grey now
He thinks back long ago
The distant past
Doesn’t seem quite so
Like just yesterday
He sees her there
The eyes he adores
The smile she wears
The day a memory began
A day he’ll always remember
When his life changed
A bright day in September
