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 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
