She was sittin' on a park bench   Feedin' pigeons on Beacon Hill   I was takin' my dog Jack out for a run   We had a little time to kill      I still don't know if it was Jack or me   That somehow caught her eye   But the next thing I knew we were sittin' there talkin'   Laughin' into the night      And from that moment on   She never left my side   Those autumn nights were long   She was the first love of my life      I still can feel the softness of her hair   Fallin' on my face   My arms all around her   There's always somethin' 'bout this time of year   That takes me to that place   And I remember   (Yes, I remember)   November   Oh yeah      She was workin' her way through school   Waitin' tables at the Hungry Eye   I was playin' a club down on the waterfront   Afterward she'd come by      Around 3 AM we'd grab some takeout   In the heart of Chinatown   And we'd hang out and stay up all night long   Just talkin' and messin' around      I never would have dreamed   We'd ever say goodbye   She felt like the sun to me   On those cold November nights      (Chorus)      Lookin' back I can't explain   What happened on that dark December day   I guess we were just two kids   Going different ways      (Chorus)
