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
