Merle Haggard
September in Miami
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
The winter found the beaches filled with pretty girls
And lonely boy away from home
All the sunshine and laughter could in no way
Match the happiness I have 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

[Verse 2]
For days I tried forgetting you
And finally wrote you off as just 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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
(September in Miami is more than just a memory of mine)
