And when october goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smoky roofs
I watch the planes go by
The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
All for the fun of them
When I was one of them
And when october goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
How I hate to see october go
And when october goes
The same old dream appears
And you are in my arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away
To hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see october go
I should be over it now I know it doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see october go
