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

got

(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

that I’m (Cm)sing ing a long,

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,

you will still be (Ab)my,

(Sep tem ber song)

You are my.

You are my (Bb)Sep tem ber song,

I re mem ber the (Ab)cho rus,

they were sing ing it (Eb)for us.

About “September Song

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "September Song" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Ab, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "September Song" by JP Cooper in?
The backing track is in Ab 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.

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.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Ab, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "September Song" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
