September of My Years Lyrics

One day, you turn around and it's summer
Next day, you turn around and it's fall
And the springs and the winters of a lifetime
Whatever happened to them all?

As a man who has always had the wandering ways
Now I'm reaching back for yesterdays
Till a long-forgotten love appears
And I find that I'm sighing softly as I near
September, the warm September of my years

As I man who has never paused at wishing wells
Now I'm watching children's carousels
And their laughter's music to my ears
And I find that I'm smiling gently as I near
September, the warm September of my years

The golden warm September of my years

This is Bob Dylan’s interpretation of Frank Sinatra’s, “The September of My Years.”

“The September of My Years” was originally composed by Jimmy Van Heusen, written by Sammy Cahn, and performed by Frank Sinatra. The song is the title track to Sinatra’s 1965 album of the same name.

The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 1966. The award went to Tony Bennett’s performance of “The Shadow of Your Smile.”

The song tracks the reflections of a narrator who is assessing the various stages of his life. The motif of September symbolizes the late stage of life.
