    Lyrics
    Summer has come and passed
    The innocent can never last
    Wake me up when September ends

    Like my fathers come to pass
    Seven years has gone so fast
    Wake me up when September ends

    Here comes the rain again
    Falling from the stars
    Drenched in my pain again
    Becoming who we are

    As my memory rests
    But never forgets what I lost
    Wake me up when September ends

    Summer has come and passed
    The innocent can never last
    Wake me up when September ends

    Ring out the bells again
    Like we did when spring began
    Wake me up when September ends

    Here comes the rain again
    Falling from the stars
    Drenched in my pain again
    Becoming who we are

    As my memory rests
    But never forgets what I lost
    Wake me up when September ends

    Summer has come and passed
    The innocent can never last
    Wake me up when September ends

    Like my father's come to pass
    Twenty years has gone so fast
    Wake me up when September ends
    Wake me up when September ends
    Wake me up when September ends
