"When October Goes" Written by Johnny Mercer and Barry Manilow 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 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 | Also Recorded by Nancy Wilson Buy Nancy Wilson's Version: Buy Barry Manilow's Version: |
