Try To Remember

Jim Nabors · 16 Most Requested Songs [2009]

Try to remember the kind of September

When life was slow and oh, so mellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When grass was green and grain was yellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When you were a tender and callow fellow

Try to remember, and if you remember

Then follow (remember to follow)

Try to remember when life was so tender

That dreams were kept beside your pillow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

The fire of September that made us mellow

Try to remember, and if you remember

Then follow (to follow)

Remember (remember)

To follow .... (to follow)
