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)
