Lyrics:
Your head spins round on a Monday
And the daylight's in your eyes
How you laughed and cursed tomorrow
Now he's standing by your side
You touched the stars at midnight
The whole world seemed to shout 'Hello'
Now your throat is tight and heavy
And only one can go

I'll be all right
Though I may cry
The tears that flow
They always dry
It's just that I would rather be
With you now

And every time I see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever
September Blue
I'll be all right
Though I may cry
The tears that flow
They always dry
It's just that I would rather be
With you now

And every time I see that star
I will say a prayer for you
Now and forever
September Blue
'Cause I'll always love you
September Blue...
