Lyrics
HEY IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY
AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SHOW
HOW MANY TIME I'VE LOOKED OUT IN THE CROWD
AND SANG OUT LOUD
Cause ONCE I COULD HAVE TOUCHED YOU
AND LAID BY YOUR SIDE
BUT LOVE IS A STRANGER
WHEN YOU'RE MIXED UP INSIDE
NOW HAS YOUR LOVE FOR ME DIED?
HEY, IT'S A COLD WINTERS DAY
SO WHY CAN'T WE TAKE A WALK IN THE SUNLIGHT
AND TALK OF THE PAST
EXCHANGE THOSE TOUCHING GLANCES
AND MAKE THE WARMTH LAST
Yes WHAT CAN I SAY oh I NEED YA MORE I WANT YA MORE
THAN ANY ANY OTHER YESTER-DAY
HEY IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY (...)
Cause ONCE I COULD HAVE TOUCHED YOU
AND LAID BY YOUR SIDE
BUT LOVE IS A STRANGER
WHEN YOU'RE MIXED UP INSIDE
SO FORGET YOUR PRIDE & RUN TO ME
NOW IT'S COLD OUTSIDE please COME TO ME
Oh HEY IT'S AN OC-TO-BER DAY.
HEY, IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY......
HEY, HEY, IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY.
HEY....
