September Knows

(Rob Christensen)
I’m going to marry her someday, I know.
Maybe in another life.
For now I just look as I swing to and fro.
I guess I can’t decide.
But she’s all alone on a Saturday night.
Her current husband works all the time.
I wish I could reach out but I can’t.
It wouldn’t be right.

She doesn’t believe in herself like she should.
She doesn’t think she has a chance.
I swear I’d give her a push if I could.
You know I know that I can’t.
But if I could I’d give her the world.
I’d give her my life and every ounce of my soul.
But I keep myself at an arm’s length away.
Don’t want to fall too hard.

I wonder if September knows
Summer is sad when August is over.
And I wonder if September cares
That I can’t find my love come the first of October.

I saw on TV
Someone like her was with someone like me.
She won’t have anything to do with me.

Someday we’ll have us an old country home.
We’ll stroll down garden paths.
We’ll have lots of children and help them all grow.
Help them learn and help them laugh.
And in the morning she’ll wake next to me.
Her body so warm and her smile so sweet.
So perfect and so serene.
Yeah, in my dreams.

I wonder if September knows
Summer is spoiled when August is over.
And I wonder if September cares
That I can’t find my love come the first of October.
I wonder if September feels
The way that I felt when I first got to know her.
And I wonder if September’s sad
As he sits there alone. By December it’s over.
