September In the Rain (Live At Mister Kelly's, Chicago/1957)

Ladies and gentlemen
You've probably wondered why we had so many microphones on the band stand tonight
The reason for it is that, this show Sarah Vaughan is recording for Mercury Records
And that actually, this performance is being taped
So in a small sense, you are all Mercury recording artist for tonight
So we'd, uh, appreciate if you act normally as you would

This show would be the same as any other, that Mister Kelly's
With one exception, that Mrs. Vaughan would use lyrics sheets
So don't let that distract you
And now Mister Kelly's takes great pleasure in presenting
Mercury recording artist, the divine Sarah Vaughan

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember in September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me, it's still September
That September in the rain

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember in September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying ember
That September in the rain

To every word of love I heard you whisper
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain
Though spring is here, to me, it's still September
That September in the rain
That September in the rain

Thank you very much
