Lyrics:

There's nothing left for me of days that used to be
I live in memory among my souvenirs
Some letters tied with blue, photograph or two
I see a rose from you, among my souvenirs
A few more tokens rest within my treasure chest
And though they do their best to give me consolation
I count them all apart, and as the teardrops start
I find a broken heart among my souvenirs

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

You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply, as time goes by
And when two lovers woo, they still say, 'I love you'
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings, as time goes by
Moonlight and love songs, never out of date
Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
And woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do-or-die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
