The Sun, this morning rose Over a box of unused clothes And then September came above And started leaking summer rain The day left me behind in bed I looked to all the clouds and said You look a little different this year, why the sudden change? Tapping on my window, push my finger through the glass I make another friend as I am watching old ones pass I'm planning for tomorrow just to be another day The Sun shines just as brightly when I look the other way And every night I sleep to dream for courage on the stage And, in my dream, I have another chance to come of age My pillow was so soft and deep I walked back to the edge of sleep The clouds, the rain, the grey All turned to dust upon my shelf A picture of a memory They settled on and said to me It's been a few Septembers And you've changed a bit yourself Tapping on my window, push my finger through the glass I make another friend as I am watching old ones pass I'm planning for tomorrow just to be another day The Sun shines just as brightly when I look the other way And every night I sleep to dream for courage on the stage And, in my dream, I have another chance to come of age And I woke up again that day I sleep to dream the rain away The Sun left me behind, but I'll stay here a little while And all the space inside of me is waiting for a memory For next year, I may wake up to September with a smile Tapping on my window, push my finger through the glass I make another friend, as I am watching old ones pass I'm planning for tomorrow just to be another day The Sun shines just as brightly when I look the other way And every night I sleep to dream for courage on the stage And, in my dream, I have another chance to come of age
