With the Autumn Season in the air, I thought this would be appropriate. It is one of my favorite and, to me, moving tunes. This music means more to me with each passing year, especially as I approach the Autumn of my years……
The long version……
"When I was a young man courting the girls…..
I played me a waiting game…..
If a maid refused me with tossing curls,
I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls……
While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls……
And as time came around she came my way…….
As time came around,…..she came
When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring,
You court them in song and rhyme…..
They answer with words and a clover ring
But if you could examine the goods they bring….
They have little to offer but the songs they sing…
And the plentiful waste of time of day,
A plentiful waste of time…….
Oh, it's a long, long while ……from May to December
And the days grow short ….when you reach September
When the autumn weather …..turns the 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……."

And to my wife……. And these few precious days…. I'll spend with you…..
These precious days…..I'll spend with you……
