Charlie Bookout Studio Works - September Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, here's one I hope you'll remember
The truth of her name is a secret, the lie is September
And I wish that I could be perfectly honest

But if I say it now, my eyes may start to rain
So I'll call her September till I can say her name

She remembered the colors of my tambourines
And it's the nicest thing that I've ever seen
Her eyebrows are perfect yet not the same
And oh, if I could only say her name

But if I say it now, my eyes may start to rain
So I'll call her September till I can take the pain

Till I can take the pain, till I can take the pain

But if I say it now, my eyes may start to rain
So I'll call her September till I can say her name

The things that I dream at night, it's almost like I'm lovesick
And it's so strange to sit on our bed and somehow feel homesick
To say that I miss her now takes on a new meaning

And if I say it now, my eyes may start to rain
So I'll call her September till I can say her name

And if I could, I would write it out letter by letter
But I fear I would be tempted to read it, and I know better
'Cause if I say it now, my eyes may start to rain
So I'll wait until November and I will try again

And I shall try again

So I shall wait until November, and I will try again
