October Nights

Now and forever

Holding on to memories

Of past and present

And of you and me

The picture is fading

Into black

Nothing to sustain it

Nothing to hold you back from leaving

Goodbye, you're gone

Counting the days

Till October nights when

You will be back home

Remembering the ways

You used to say,

"You make me so happy"

Sweet summer days of old

Late night drives all alone

Turn to autumn dark and cold

And times when we're on our own

Goodbye, you're gone

So I'll take my chances

And see where this goes

I feel that there's something

That no one else knows

And I dont know if you feel

The same way I do

I pray to God hoping

That your heart is true

I write you these letters

And sing you these songs

But I know when I'm with you

Things can never go wrong

But you'll find the right guy

With things that i lack

You can forget about me

Dont let me hold you back

Suffering through endless nights

You're keeping me from sleep

This distance between us is not right

You mean so much to me

Goodbye, you're gone

Counting the days

Till October nights when

You will be back home

Remembering the ways

You used to say,

"You make me so happy"
