Verse:

My day dreams lie bur -ied in au -tumn leaves, They're cov -ered with au -tumn rain,

The time is sweet Sep -tem -ber, The place, a shad -y lane,

I'm rid -ing the wings of an au -tumn breeze, Back to my mem -o -ries;

 

Chorus:

The leaves of brown came tum -bling down, re -mem -ber?

In Sep -tem -ber, in the rain,

The sun went out just like a dy -ing em -ber,

That Sep -tem -ber, in the rain,

To ev -'ry word of love I heard you whis -per,

The rain -drops seemed to play a sweet re -frain,

Though Spring is here, to me it's still Sep -tem -ber,

That Sep -tem -ber, in the rain.
