September Song

Sing the song of September!
Sing of golden skies and apples
Of leaves turning yellow
Of the sun shining less
Of the moon shining a bit more
Of the last of the flowers in bloom

Sing the song of September!
Sing of the first day of school
Of yellow school busses rumbling
Of red apples on teachers' desks
Of plaid skirts and new backpacks
Of pigtails and lunch money

Sing the song of September!
Sing of time with family
Of labor day weekend on beaches
Of afternoon hikes and evening movies
Of last backyard parties
Of last fireflies

Sing the song of September!
And sing the last song of Summer...
