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
