Try To Remember

Artist: Andy Williams

Album: The Ultimate Ballroom Album 5

Song Length: 2:56

George's Thoughts: One of my favorite Waltz songs. There are several versions of this song. Des O'Connor did a nice one that's found on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 2." His voice is softer and more enjoyable but he forces the beat a little too much in my opinion. My favorite is this one by Andy Williams. Not only is it a little smoother throughout, but he seems to put more emotion into it as well, which helps make it even more danceable.

Song Lyrics:

Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh
so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
When noone wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart will hollow.
Deep in December
it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember
and follow
follow.
