Fitzgerald, Ella - September Song Lyrics
When he was a young man courting the girls
He played a waiting game
If a maid refused him with tossing curls
He'd let the old Earth take a couple of whirls
For as time went along she came his way
But it's a long long while from May to December
And the days grow short when you reach September
The autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And I haven't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you

Fitzgerald, Ella September Song Comments
That subtle melodic variation at 3:40 just rips my heart out. I was lucky to spend one evening in jazz heaven: Ella with her trio, Joe Pass, the Oscar Peterson trio, and then Ella and Joe did a duo set. I’ll always remember that night.
Of course a classic . . . and performed flawlessly by an American legend.
she could sing.. i like this version almost as much as i like willies...
i love this song and above all the singer!
Beautiful September song Ella Fitzgerald R. I. P. 11 Sept 2019 thank you
Hear hear! 9/2019
Beautiful Song...Crank it...
September Song e Ella Fitzgerald - casamento perfeito que resulta numa obra de arte.
Up there on top with Linda Ronstadt. Lions dragons and time. Songs from the top and I. Brian Koller
💔💋🖤
Simply stunning.
Best version yet. A chord on the tv of some song brought me to my memories of this song. As young girl my mother used to sing this song. Miss you, Mama.
Magique Ella 😍 une douceur pour nos oreilles et un réconfort pour le coeur
Her voice is superb, but this is a mans song.
Love her.
I sure wish I sounded like this.
beautiful...
La quintessence 😍👋🙏
Sinatra couldn't top her voice. Nobody can. We're drawn to her like bee's to pollen. She's sunshine when it's raining. She's the soft rain as we fall asleep.
When he was a young man courting the girls
He played a waiting game
If a maid refused him with tossing curls
He'd let the old Earth take a couple of whirls
For as time went along she came his way
As time went along, she came
But it's a long long while from May to December
And the days grow short when you reach September
The autumn weather turns the leaves to flame
And I haven't got time for the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few
September, November
And these few precious days I'll spend with you
These precious days I'll spend with you
When one day I heard for the first time this so awesome voice I stoped I did cry and thought: "Oh, my god, thanks for this!"
MARAVILHOSA ! Nunca será esquecida ! Eterna DIVA !!!
Timeless. A master
how beautyfull,i am crying...
Mesmerising! Simply perfect
It gets no finer than Ella - she's at the top of her game here and sings with the absolute voice of an angel.
She was playing in Frisco Ca-when I was lucky to have a sister who lived there.
again, again and again. Ad vitam eternam.
Her voice is out of this world. The diction perfect. Bless you Ella R.I.P.
Monumental
melted my soul
what a voice
One of the most beautiful songs written!
I am embarrassed to comment on this. I am not....
Ella, I love you.
aubreyaubgay
Ella..
As someone else said she could sing a a phone book and make it sound great,
There has NEVER been a vocalist before or since.
Ella I love you.
This old fat guy met Ella after a concert in 1974 at age 14. She was all smiles and very friendly. My father had seen her in 1949 at a Jazz At The Philharmonic concert. I was lucky to be born early enough to actually get to see and meet a few of the classic Jazz artists.
That's why I wont go to New York anymore, because I wont see this first Lady of Jazz and any others! They are all dead. My daugther ask me to go to New York, but I question her: "All my idols are dead!"
You were lucky indeed. Us younger folks are grateful we live in an era where they left recordings, at least. Please do support the jazz artists still out there.
im near your age and I dont consider myself old so.....
@José de Ribamar Araújo Peres But if you listen hard enough, you'll hear there are people out there who love this stuff and have the talent to do their own versions.
Never give up on the human race. We're an interesting bunch.
I wanted "September Song" added to background music at my barbershop. This is by far, the most perfect take by any artist who ever attempted this song.
mukemmel bir yorum! isiklar icinde uyusun...

What a voice I remember Seeing Ella with Paul smith in 1961 And what a night it was .Ella Your the Tops sons it up.

A beautiful version of "my" song.
La voz mágica que acompaño mi infancia .....
Listening to Ella makes me smile.
Ben Jonson
and cry......
Preciosa canción que lo hace pensar acerca de la vida a uno. Ahora que somos mayores como dice la canción no podemos entrar en el juego de esperar pues no nos queda mucho tiempo. La muerte de muchos de nuestros amigos y excompañeros nos lo dice. Pero aunque queden pocos días pasémolos con quienes amamos y hagamos que valgan la pena.
Brilliant;awsome brings back good times Steve.
HHHow sweet her song is! wonderful..............!
Ella Fitzgerald could sing the phone book. What a great performer. Great version of this classic.
i like ella. but sarah vaughn version of this tune is awsom. just perfect
Esta interpretación de Ella,es muy especial especial...
Nice song and one that makes one think. After summer comes autumn. It is also so in our lives when we grow old. I like the lyrics of this song. And Ella's voice is really good.
I do not sleep, I sleep lightly.. Have a good time.. All a good day.
Ella is wonderful ! Thank you for sharing.

UMT was created due to the fact there are plenty of great singers/bands/Dj's that have amazing music to give and not enough people to support them.
So,i've decided to create this page here and post every kind of music i find interesting and believe it should be heard,hopefully you will do the same!
She owns this song. A true singer knows how to let the lyrics say it all. I can't stop repeating.
Belíssima canção e maravilhosa interpretação. Parabéns, Ella !
The pianist was Paul Smith. I was only familiar with the Willie Nelson version of this song before I heard this slow burning version. Beautiful rendition of a classic Kurt Weill song.
Beautiful, sad, and sweet
in love
Bela Ella!
SUPER LOVE :)
Who is the pianist?
Paul Smith
Tommy Flannigan was her pianist for years.
i wanna hear from the Fabulous 3 that didn't like this ♫♪..
her voice is nectar
a balm to my soul
Exactly!
NECTAR::the perfect word for La Fitzgerald's legendary voice!
where is my hanky
Ella è indimenticabile......!!!!
Now it is September I remembered this song and decided to hear it in Ella's version. It is a good song.
Ella , ela e sua voz...adorável...
Александр IV C ней никто не способен сравнитется
It doesn't get any better than this.
JFK favorite song

Mama, I can hear you singing this song. Rest in Peace. I miss you more every day.
Barbara Ann
And just when I thought I couldn't love Ella any more, I hear her version of this song! Please tell me the single thumbs down is a joke. What a beautiful voice!!
The best. John
