September In The Rain

written by Harry Warren (music) and Al Dubin (lyrics)

The leaves of brown
Came tumbling down, remember
In September in the rain.

The sun went out
Just like a dying ember
In September in the rain.

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.

Though spring is here
To me it's still September
That September in the rain.

About the Music

What a simple yet very tender and beautiful song! It was penned for the 1935 film, Stars Over Broadway and has been recorded by numerous artists. Although its now a jazz standard - a little known fact is that it was even covered by the Beatles for their Decca audition...

My modern arrangement features my signature D-50 jazz guitar patch and a trombone solo.
