When October Goes peaked at #6 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart.
The song was based on a lyric written by Johnny Mercer, but it wasn’t finished. After Mercer passed away from brain cancer, Barry finished writing the song.
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
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
