Saved especially for today, this is one of my all-time favorite songs. The music is even more beautiful than the lyrics. The Nancy Wilson version is my favorite.When October Goes
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer/Music by 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
I should be over it now I know
It doesn't matter much how old I grow
I hate to see October go"
As my daughter would say, "Tear, Tear, Big Tear". October is my absolute favorite month. And now it's over.
