when october goes

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 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
