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      iinstrumental/i      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
