November

She was sittin' on the park bench feedin' pigeons on Beacon Hill

I was takin' my dog Jack out for a run, we had little time to kill

I still don't know if it was Jack or me that somehow caught her eye

But the next thing I knew, we were sittin' there talking, laughing, into the night

And from that moment on she never left my side

Those autumn nights were long

She was the first love of my life



Chorus:

I still can feel the softness of her hair falling on my face

My arms all around her

There's always something 'bout this time of year

It takes me to that place

And I remember November



She was workin' her way through school

Waitin' tables at the Hungry Eye

I was playin' a club down on the waterfront

After work she'd come by

Around 3AM we'd grab some take-out in the heart of Chinatown

Then we'd hang out and stay up all night just talkin' and messin' around

I never would have dreamed we'd ever say goodbye

She felt like the sun to me on those cold November nights



Chorus



Lookin' back I can't explain what happened

On that dark December day

I guess we were just two kids goin' different ways



Chorus



And I remember November
