So Long Since September

So Long Since September

It’s been so long since September when she first found her dream
in a man she thought would be her everything
She believed him when he told her he’d be with her to stay
and let nothing in the world take him away
But the winter came between them and he was gone by May

Chorus:
And it’s been so long since September
So long since he’s held her
She knows deep in her heart he will always be a part
It’s been so, so long since September

Each night she lies and listens and hopes he’s coming home
‘cause she never will believe he’s really gone
And she all too often wonders if she’ll wake up alone
or if he’ll be there to hold her in his arms
Now it’s rainin’ out her window as she looks into the night

Chorus:

Outside a car door closes as he walks into the rain
and he feels as though he’s never gone away
The key’s in the front door from where he left before
he knew that no one in the world could take her place

Chorus:
