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
oh for the fun of them
when i was one of them
Chorus
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
(long piano interlude)
Chorus
I should be over it now i know
it doesn't matter much
how old i grow
i hate to see october go
