Chorus:
C                            F                               C 
September in Miami marks the time and the place I first laid eyes on you
      C                                                      G 
I was there to spend the winter, keepin' warm the only way I knew
       C                             F                    C
It was way down in the fall before I realized at all it'd be a special place and time
C                     G                          C
September in Miami is more than just a memory of mine

The winter found the beaches filled with pretty girls and lonely boy away from home
All the sunshine and laughter could you know they matched the happiness I'd 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


For days I tried forgetting you and finally wrote you off as 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 find you
I'll address it somewhere Texas for you talked about some cowboys that you knew

Chorus
