Verse:

My day dreams lie buried in autumn leaves,  They're covered with autumn rain,

The time is sweet September,  The place, a shady lane,

I'm riding the wings of an autumn breeze,  Back to my memories;

 

Chorus:

The leaves of brown came tumbling down, remember?

In September, in the rain,

The sun went out just like a dying ember,

That September, in the rain,

To ev'ry word of love I heard you whisper,

The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain,

Though Spring is here, to me it's still September,

That September, in the rain.
