September (for Jessie)

​September (a song for Jessie)


​Do you remember when I gave to you a token of my love to cherish always.
When you tried to give it back to me under Christmas lights, I messed it up, because I couldn't wait.

Snow-covered mountain tops in New Mexico. Going to the shore and running from the beach patrol.
Fireworks on New Year's Eve, and you Staying-In-Style with me.

It's been good. It's been so sweet.
Girl, you reached me in my darkness and helped me get back to my feet.

I can hear my brother singing in the background, and I can feel you whisper in my ear.
I can almost taste your goodness all around me. Baby, it must be September-what a great time of year.
