When I think of you and all the happiness we knew
Something deep inside denies it ever could be true
Sweet September rain if you would please return again
And tell me, was it oh so easy for her to deceive me then

Such a sweet September, it's time I will remember
All my life that memory will haunt my dreams
And I'll miss you, just to kiss you
Would be heaven and it seems
When you've lost your lover
It's a feeling you discover
Like you're lost and such a long, long way home
I'll remember that September
Though we'll never meet again

Shades of red and brown the autumn leaves fall to the ground
And they seem to say so ends the love that you have found
Sweet September rain if you would please return again
And tell me, why it had to be so tell me why did she go then

Such a sweet September, it's time I will remember
All my life that memory will haunt my dreams
And I'll miss you, just to kiss you
Would be heaven and it seems
When you've lost your lover
It's a feeling you discover
Like you're lost and such a long, long way home
I'll remember that September
Though we'll never meet again
