From the recording Beneath
Music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Maxwell Anderson
Lyrics
Oh it’s a long long while
From May to December
And the days grow short
When you reach September
And the autumn weather
Turns leaves to flame
One hasn’t got time
For the waiting game
Oh the days dwindle down
To a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days
I’ll spend with you
These precious days
I’ll spend with you
