September Song
|
 |
“Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.”
- William
Wordsworth, September
(07 April 1770 - 23 April 1850)

From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_Song:
"September Song" is an
American
pop standard composed by
Kurt Weill,
with lyrics by
Maxwell Anderson. It was introduced by
Walter Huston in the 1938
Broadway
musical
Knickerbocker Holiday, which enjoyed only moderate success and closed
after six months. The song has since been recorded by numerous singers and
instrumentalists. It was used in the 1950 film
September Affair, and the popularity of the film caused Huston's
recording to hit the top of the 1950
hit parade.[1]
It was used as the music for the credits in the television series
May to December (a quote from the opening line of the song).
It originated from
Walter Huston's request that he should have one solo song in
Knickerbocker Holiday, if he was going to play the role of the aged dictator
Peter Stuyvesant. Anderson and Weill wrote the song specifically for
Huston's gruff voice and limited vocal range, in a couple of hours.[2]
The musical closed in April 1939 after six months, but the song quickly became
established as a modern standard.....

From

- 09/01/16:
When a new dentist set up in town he
quickly acquired a reputation of being the 'Painless' dentist.
However, a local little girl called Veronica disputed his claim.
"He's a fake!" Veronica told her friends. "He's not painless at all.
When he stuck his finger in my mouth, I bit him, and he screamed
like anyone else!"


Y'all take care of each other!

Love to all, Carol

September Song
Music
by
Kurt Weill,
1938
(02 Mar 1900 - 03 Apr 1950)
Lyrics by
Maxwell Anderson
(15 Dec 1888 - 28 Feb 1959)
Recorded by
Frank
Sinatra
(12 Dec 1915 – 14 May 1998),
April 13, 1965
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
But 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
