September In Miami - Merle Haggard, The Strangers

September in Miami marks the time

And the place I first laid eyes on you

I was there to spend the winter

Keeping warm the only way I knew

It was way down in the fall before I realized at all

It’d be a special place and time

September in Miami

Is more than just a memory of mine

The winter found the beaches filled with pretty girls

And lonely boy away from home

All the sunshine and laughter could you know

They matched the happiness I’d known

You went away to somewhere on the day

Before Thanksgiving day, but I didn’t cry

And the lonely weeks that followed

Made me know I’d always love you till I die

For days I tried forgetting you

And finally wrote you offers just like a passing friend

But I woke up this morning

And today I started loving you again

If this letter ever find you

I hope it finds you happy when it finds you

I’ll address it somewhere Texas

For you talked about some cowboys that you knew

September in Miami marks the time

And the place I first laid eyes on you

I was there to spend the winter

Keeping warm the only way I knew

It was way down in the fall before I realized at all

It’d be a special place and time

September in Miami

Is more than just a memory of mine
