SEPTEMBER MORN

For Paul Emile Chabas

STAY FOR JUST A WHILE
STAY, AND LET ME LOOK AT YOU
IT'S BEEN SO LONG I HARDLY KNEW YOU
STANDING IN THE DOOR
STAY WITH ME AWHILE
I ONLY WANT TO TALK TO YOU
WE'VE TRAVELED HALFWAY 'ROUND THE WORLD
TO FIND OURSELVES AGAIN

SEPTEMBER MORN
WE DANCED UNTIL THE NIGHT
BECAME A BRAND NEW DAY
TWO LOVERS PLAYING SCENES
FROM SOME ROMANTIC PLAY

SEPTEMBER MORNING STILL CAN MAKE
ME FEEL
THAT WAY....

LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DOVE
WHY, YOU'VE BECOME A GROWN-UP GIRL
I CAN STILL HEAR YOU CRYING
IN THE CORNER OF YOUR ROOM
AND LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME
SO FAR FROM WHERE WE USED TO BE
BUT
NOT SO FAR THAT WE'VE FORGOTTEN
HOW IT WAS BEFORE

SEPTEMBER MORN
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW WE
DANCED THAT NIGHT AWAY?
TWO LOVERS PLAYING SCENES
FROM SOME ROMANTIC PLAY
SEPTEMBER MORNING STILL CAN MAKE ME FEEL THAT WAY

Neil Diamond/Gilbert Francois Becaud

SEPTEMBER MORN is actually a famous, controversial, at the time, 1912, PAINTING created by Paul Emile Chabas.

It has lost some of it's cache, people have dumped on it, but there is nothing GENTLER or more soothing than "September Morn"....
