TRY TO REMEMBER - by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt. From the musical "The FANTASTICKS". Should be in a lot of Broadway/Pop songbooks, no to mention on CDs of the musical and other Broadway hits. Recorded by Ray Conniff, Andy Williams, Ed Ames, Belafonte, and yes the Brothers Four and many more.

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 was yellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow
Try to remember and if you remember, Then follow

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 the 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

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 us mellow
Deep in December our hearts should remember, and follow
