Those days o’ September,
When mornings were cool—
With lunch pail and books,
On our way to school—
The fresh breath o’ morn,
Like perfumery so sweet—
As we’d skip along
So light on our feet—
We knew it not,
But we were happy then.
Let's roll the years backward
And live o'er again
Those days o’ September,
That we used to know—
When we see our kiddies
When days o’ September
Come marching along
And we know that old Summertime
Soon will be gone—
For days have grown shorter
And mornings are cool
And we see the kiddies,
On their way to school-
Say, don't it remind you
Of those days long flown—
Those dear sweet old school days
We knew our own.
I don’t mean you kiddies,
But, your Mother and Dad—
I bet they remember
Those good times we had.
