Try to Remember 

Lyrics by Thomas Collins Jones (February 17, 1928 – August 11, 2023) was an American lyricist and librettist

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

That no one wept except the willow

Try to remember the kind of September

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

The fire of September that made us mellow

Deep in December, our hearts should remember

"Try to Remember" is a song about nostalgia[1] from the musical comedy play The Fantasticks (1960). It is the first song performed in the show, encouraging the audience to imagine what the sparse set suggests. The words were written by the American lyricist Tom Jones while Harvey Schmidt composed the music.
