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
And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And I am in your arms
To share the happy years
I turn my head away to hide the helpless tears
Oh how I hate to see October go

And when October goes
The same old dream appears
And I am in your 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
