James Clive Scott - Why September Lyrics

There's a song playing on the radio
It takes me back to September long ago
We used to sit there in my old truck
And laugh and talk of things to come
You were marrying a girl you loved
I thought I was a lonely one
You told me once you could do anything
That's guided me throughout my life

You had it tougher than a lot of us
It never seemed to get you down
You played life's stage like it was opening night
You were loved throughout this town
I can see the people's haunted eyes
Guess something died in us that day
Now its only taken thirty years
But I think I've finally found my way

Now you'll be glad to know I'm doing fine
Got a family and a lovely wife
How I wish that you could see us now
I wish that you were still part of my life
And as the rain is falling hard and cold
I wish that you were still part of my life

Now I always will remember
When our lives were shining gold
You were taken from us far too soon
Never had a chance of growing old

Why'd it have to be September
Because now October's so damn cold
