Lyrics

Our love was (Bb)strong as a li (Cm)on, soft as the (Ab)cot ton you lie (Eb)in, times we got (Bb)hot like an i (Cm)ron, you and I.

Our hearts had (Bb)nev er been bro (Cm)ken, we were so (Ab)in no cent, darl (Eb)ing, we used to (Bb)talk till the morn (Cm)ing, you and I.

We had (Cm)that mix tape on ev ’ry week end,

had it re peat ing,

had it re peat ing.

You were my (Bb)Sep tem ber song, sum mer (Cm)last ed too long.

(Ab)Time moves so slow ly when you’re on ly fif teen.

You were my (Bb)Sep tem ber song, tell me, (Cm)where have you gone?

Do you re mem ber me?

We were on ly fif teen and I,

I re mem ber the (Ab)cho rus,

they were sing ing it (Eb)for us.

You were my (Bb)Sep tem ber song, tell me, (Cm)where have you gone,

do you re mem ber me?

We were on ly fif teen.

Some times, I (Bb)think that I see (Cm)your face in (Ab)stran gest of pla (Eb)ces, down on the (Bb)un der ground sta (Cm)tion, pass ing by.

I get a (Bb)mad sense of dan (Cm)ger, feel like my (Ab)heart could n’t take (Eb)it ’cause if we (Bb)met, we’d be stran (Cm)gers,

Still, I play that mix tape ev er y

(Bb)Sep tem ber song, sum mer (Cm)last ed too long.

(Ab)Time moves so slow ly when you’re on ly fif teen.

You were my (Bb)Sep tem ber song, tell me, (Cm)where have you gone?

Do you re mem ber me?

We were on ly fif teen and I,

I re mem ber the (Ab)cho rus,

they were sing ing it (Eb)for us.

You were my

think ing ’bout you and me, oh, were on ly fif teen.

Some times, I what a me lo dy.

And as the years go (Bbm7)by,

(Sep tem ber song)

You are my.

You are my (Bb)Sep tem ber song,

I re mem ber the (Ab)cho rus,

About “September Song”

Can I sing "September Song" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "September Song" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Eb, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "September Song" by JP Cooper in?
The backing track is in Eb at 94 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "September Song" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "September Song"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "September Song", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "September Song" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "September Song"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "September Song"?
"September Song" was originally performed by JP Cooper. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
Is there a karaoke version of "September Song" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "September Song" by JP Cooper. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "September Song" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Eb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "September Song" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
