When October Goes

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
