   Could it be?   
   The "September Song" is an American pop standard composed by Kurt Weill,   
   with lyrics by Maxwell Anderson. It was introduced by Walter Huston in   
   the 1938 Broadway musical Knickerbocker Holiday, and has since been   
   recorded by numerous singers and instrumentalists. It was used as the   
   credits music in the television series May to December (a quote from the   
   opening line of the song).   
      
   When I was a young man courting the girls   
   I played me a waiting game   
   If a maid refused me with tossing curls   
   I'd let the old Earth make a couple of whirls   
   While I plied her with tears in lieu of pearls   
   And as time came around she came my way   
   As time came around, she came   
      
   When you meet with the young girls early in the Spring   
   You court them in song and rhyme   
   They answer with words and a clover ring   
   But if you could examine the goods they bring   
   They have little to offer but the songs they sing   
   And the plentiful waste of time of day   
   A plentiful waste of time   
      
      
   Oh, it's a long, long while from May to December   
   But the days grow short when you reach September   
   When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame   
   One hasn'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
