Lyrics
The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the jukebeat cut of September.
Do you remember the 21st night of September? Love was changing the minds of pretenders While chasing the clouds away Our hearts were ringing In the key that our souls were singing. As we danced in the night, Remember how the stars stole the night away Ba de ya - say do you remember Ba de ya - dancing in September Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu Ba duda, badu, ba duda * My thoughts are with you Holding hands with your heart to see you Only blue talk and love, Remember how we knew love was here to stay Ba de ya de ya de ya Ba de ya de ya de ya ba de ya de ya de ya De ya * Ba de ya de ya de ya Ba de ya de ya de ya ba de ya de ya de ya
