It was a melancholy May
A string of truly forgettable days
And I only wanted to stay
In your arms
But you were gone in June
When the sun eclipsed the moon
And the birds all sang out of tune
When you said you're leaving
July oh why why why
Do you torture me like this
I only wanted one last kiss
Instead of a sunburn
August made a fool of us
But I still don't know why
Phone bills stacked to the sky
And I bounced these checks
Come September you'll remember me
When the leaves turn from green to red
And when October leaves turn brown again
You'll need a friend for November days
December nights get cold and wet and grey
January drags along
Like the verse to a rock and roll song
On a February day
We get to the chorus
March away with me
On a April day down by the sea
When the cold wind whips in your face
Off the ocean
Come September you'll remember me
When the leaves turn from green to red
And when October leaves turn brown again
You'll need a friend for November days
December nights get cold and wet and grey
