When autumn first arrived you were my lady

And love was written in the winter snow

Then with the change of months there came october

And now I wonder where that love did go



It was the second rain of autumn we shared a feeling

It was such, such a glorious autumn dream, yes it was

But like kids we were too shy to say to each other (one another)

That together we would always like to be



Someday soon I know we'll come together

Even though our feelings change as seasons do

But maybe sweet november will tell us the story

That will bring us back the love that we both knew



When autumn first arrived you said you'd be my lady

And promised me that you would never go

Then with the change of months then came october

And now I'm wondering where, where did our love go



It was the second rain of autumn we shared a feeling

It was such, such a glorious autumn dream, yes it was

But like kids we were too shy to say to each other (one another)

That together we would always like to be

Released during a period where he was expanding his solo catalog beyond his work with Toni Braxton, the song exemplifies the smooth, romantic aesthetic that characterized his discography of the era. As a lead single, it highlights his role as a primary songwriter and producer, crafting a sonic identity that prioritized emotional resonance and polished arrangements. The recording reflects the genre's evolution toward more radio-friendly structures while maintaining deep roots in traditional soul music. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the sentiment of a fleeting romance, cementing Babyface's status as a pivotal figure in modern American music.
