Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And when October goes
The snow begins to fly
Above the smokey roofs
I watch the planes go by
[Verse 2]
The children running home beneath
A twilight sky
Oh, for the fun of them
When I was one of them
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I should be over it now, I know
It doesn't matter much, how old I grow
I hate to see October go
