Well, September comes around like an old familiar friend

So I take off to Central Park to watch those falling leaves again

And in the arbors of Strawberry Fields, in a night as bright as day

I look up at the sky and wish I could fly away



And I say I know this life won't last forever

But wherever you go these days

I'm with you all the way

And I say I know your time and mine together

Is more than I could understand

But I promise you, I'll always be your man



And so I watch those falling leaves until the winter kicks in good

Until I reach the same conclusion, we never say the things we should

You're with me all the time it seems, yeah, these days I'm not alone

I can't explain the things I'm going through, it's you not me that's flown away



And I say I know this time won't last forever

But wherever you go these days

I'm with you all the way

And I say I know your time and mine together

Is more than I could understand

But I promise you, I'll always be your man



And time has put us through some heavy changes

And I say I still care about you and I know what love's for

And I'll be right here waiting for you every day

To come in laughing through that door

Look up at the towers through the falling snow



It's hard to tell what you've been going through

Because I'm a stranger now in your world



And I say I know this world won't last forever

But wherever you go these days

I'm with you all the way

And I say I know your time and mine together

Is more than I could understand

But I promise you, I'll always be your man



Day in day out, I have no doubt

I'll always be your man
