And when October goes The snow begins to fly Above the smokey roofs I watch the planes go by The children running home Beneath a twillight sky Oh for the front 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.
