When October Goes - Barry Manilow . 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 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 . 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 .
