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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/earth_wind_fire/september.html ]
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
Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days
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 de ya
I think sept 21st is the night he proposed. They married in december (bells were ringing) and "blue talk and love" is referring to her "something blue". I think it is their anniversary and they are thinking back so many years ago. Eventhough as all married couples, they had struggles along
The way, their love has carried them through and they are still dancing the night away as if they newlyweds. Would explain why this is such a catchy tune that we all find ourselves dancing to.
