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

I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much
How old I grow
I hate to see October go
