Try To Remember



Artists: The Kingston Trio-from their 1963 LP "The Kingston Trio #16"

Words and Music by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt from the musical "The

Fantasticks"



Try to remember the kind of September

When life was slow and oh so mellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When grass was green and grain so yellow

Try to remember the kind of September

When you were a young and a callow fellow

Try to remember and if you remember

Then follow--follow, oh-oh



Try to remember when life was so tender

That no one wept except the willow

Try to remember when life was so tender

That dreams were kept beside your pillow

Try to remember when life was so tender

That love was an ember about to billow

Try to remember and if you remember

Then follow--follow, oh-oh





(brief instrumental interlude)





Deep in December it's nice to remember

Although you know the snow will follow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

Without a hurt, the heart is hollow

Deep in December it's nice to remember

The fire of September that made you mellow

Deep in December our hearts should remember

Then follow--follow, oh-oh



Follow, oh-oh
