Goodbye September

Goodbye September,
 the saddest of words,
 the school days are over and down on the playground
 the birds don't sing for free like they did,
 maybe you thought I was joking, we were just kids
 and I don't know what I'm gonna do without you now that you're gone.
 I still remember the way that you looked,
 cable knit sweater and always alone with a book of poems and faces you drew,
 you were the one that they voted most likely to
 and I don't know what I'm gonna do without you now that you're gone.
 Change comes everywhere, everywhere, strange as it seems,
 you're still the one that I see in my dreams.
 Goodbye September, the world is awake,
 blink in the sunlight and know that I'm happy to take a breath of sweet morning air,
 I hear your song everywhere
 and I don't know what I'm gonna do without you...
 Goodbye September
