ttto "Try to Remember" from the musical The Fantasticks
Early December, 1998, brought some remarkable days to the Boston area, more like early fall than the grim damp cloudy chill we're used to around that time. But we knew it couldn't last.
Try to remember that this is December
Although you go without a sweater.
Try to remember, although for December
The air is fair, and rarely better.
Try to remember that since it's December
The snow will soon render you cold and wetter.
Try to remember the rest of December
Will follow. (Follow, follow, follow, follow...)
