well, it's a long, long time
from may to december
but the days grow short,
when you reach september.
and the autumn weather
turns the leaves to gray
and i haven't got time
for the waiting game.
And the days dwindle down
to a precious few . . .
september, november . . .
and these few precious days
i spend with you.
these precious days
i spend with you.
