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
