summer retreats now
green kingdom's end
why can't i make
time suspend?
the hummingbird would hover by me
and never fly away
if only i could
make september stay
in every blossom
she hides a song
sunshine be mine
all year long
the hummingbird would hum beside me
her journey south delay
if only i could
make september stay
if i could just confuse the moon then i
could make september stay
or imitate the warbler's tune then i
could make september stay
