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

Wake me up when February ends

My father passed away last night because of Covid 19; 4 heart attacks that left him brain dead. How I wish I was able to talk to him one more time and hear his voice, tell him how much I love him. RIP Papa 💔🌹

Please y'all, be safe out there and take care of yourselves.

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this song about his father, who died of cancer on September 1st, 1982. At his father’s funeral, Billie cried, ran home and locked himself in his room. When his mother got home and knocked on the door to Billie’s room, Billie simply said, “Wake me up when September ends, ” hence the title.

Lost my Dad last September, and I was there holding his hands until his last breath. It's been few months but I still can't get over with what happened. I'm missing him and his presence every single day.

[jomersicat]

To the person who's reading this, I pray you will become a successful person someday.

Before my Son died, he very loved playing this song on our radio everyday. Until he died because he has Down syndrome. Thankyou For creating this song. And now I'm playing this song wherever I go, I miss you so much troy sweetie♥️

I cry every time I hear this, but for me it would be "Wake Me Up When February Ends" because I lost both my mom (Feb 1) and husband (Feb 5, our 2nd anniversary) in February of 2021. It's hard trying to juggle my family (my daughter, developmentally disabled brother and senior dad), especially when I have been battling deep depression along with chronic pain/health issues, but I keep going...

My grandpa died two days ago and this hits hard. He was my bestfriend.💔💔💔

Edit: Thanks for everyone's concern. Whenever I feel alone, I just get back to this song to remind myself that some people still cares. Thank you everyone.

Doesn't matter if its not September. I'll listen to this every day

[anya]

My friend passed away a few days ago may her soul rest in peace. I will perform this song in her name, it perfectly encapsulates my emotions and grief. My heart goes out to all those who have to accept the passing of a loved one. May you find peace.

When a song is unforgettable, it's not old, but classical.

[Rou_Fao_Pei]

A difficult September just begun guys. Good luck . Honestly this song helps

[ickochi]

I wanna just go back in time and enjoy my teenage years again, walking with my friends listening and singing this song. When everything was so colorful and full of life.

[galihpandu]

Let's play this September Anthem again and again.

[reynpastrana]

Who's with Time flies so fast today is September 1, 2021 hoping and praying Covid will leave us soon 🥺

“7 years has gone so fast” This will always make me remember elementary school, 7 years. This is my last year in elementary😔😢

My Father died in September and my birth month also in September.

Don't know what to feel
When September comes
But I choose to sleep
Until September ends

This song hit me badly hard 😥

[hanahann]

Hello guys. Please remember you are loved. Keep going. Keep fighting. We're all in this together. Sending virtual hugs to everyone.

My mother passed away September 9th at 9:44pm. She liked green day. I brought her to the place that made me happiest like she asked. I go every year to share a drink until my time comes.

[bunnygirljones]

Hi everyone!
It's September 1st and we're all here again. My son was born in September 2003, but I also lost my mom in September 2012. It's a bittersweet month for me.

My father passed away 50 ago next month. I was only 7. The loss of him has had a unmeasurable impact on my life. I do not seek any pity or anything but for anyone who still has a dad around and he’s a decent person you have been blessed. To my dad I’ll see you someday. I can’t wait to have that game of catch I always wanted.
