Rainy September

Seems like just yesterday I saw you
You were standing under a mango tree
It was raining so hard that day
I ask you to share an umbrella with me

And we click like a remote control
Right away we know it was meant to be
And we couldn’t wait to go home
And share our meeting with our family

Then I came to meet your parents
To ask if I could take you to a movie
It was the beginning of our love story
A moment that would go down in history

We went to the metro cinema in san Fernando
On our first date and holding hand
And you put your head on my shoulder
Watching “Kuch Kuch Hota hai” with Kajol and Shah Ruck khan

And I remember the first time we kiss
It felt like I was in a romantic dream
Then walking up the high street 
 Holding hands and eating ice cream

And then for our engagement,
we had a really big party
And then over one hundred people came
To see us when we get married

 Then nine months later
You went in labor
And we bring in the world
Our precious daughter

How time flies so fast
The time just slips away
And our once thick long black hair
Then started to turn to gray

Just yesterday our little princess was running on the grass
Falling and bruising up her knees
And today she's a young woman
going to the University of the west indies

Taking her by Dinesh parlor up the road 
To buy a sweet drink and belly full cake
And waking all night with her
When she eats too much and have a tummy ache

Do you remember when my grandmother buys her a dolly house?
And a pink Barbie battery-powered car
Now she has her drivers license
And living very far

We sat up all night
 worrying about her
When she leaves to go to college
She was staying there
 because traveling was too far

now she is a lawyer
and making the world a better place
she fights for the underdogs
and if you are guilty, she won’t take your case
 
so, tell me, honey, do you remember
when we met in that rainy September
it was a meeting by chance
that becomes a lifetime romance

once the years started rolling
we accept what comes along our way
but we weren’t prepared for the news
when you came from the doctor’s office that day

Laying in your arms as you got weaker
crying as you held me tight
making you warm Lipton tea
when you couldn’t sleep at night

you always like us to drive down to Usine
and eat dinner by Naz cuisine
and our last night together we were spent in bed
Watching “two and a half men” with Charlie sheen

Then the next morning I awake
But your eyes remained close
I made sure the florist delivered
24 dozen of your favorite red rose
 
So, tell me, darling do you remember
When we met in September
And now I am alone
In this cold December

You use to talk so much
Now you don’t even make a sound
Still, I come every day
And sit with you here on the cold ground

Our little girl is married now
with her own family
All we leave with her
Our years of happy memories

Time will run away eventually
We all know it does
And I will meet you again, my love
as our little girl will lay me next to you
