Long ago, our hearts danced
In a breathless, whirling waltz
And we lived just for each other
And forgave each other's faults
And then, as if by magic
In a moment, you were gone
Leaving me with memories
And a sad November song

The cold snap of autumn
And the turning of the leaves
Brings back memories of our love
And again my heart grieves
And it seems like many years ago
Or maybe yesterday
But love is not time's fool
In the cold November grey

This was your favorite time of year
For walking on the beach
Alone with gulls and sandpipers
And sailboats on a reach
And we spoke of all the things we'd do
In a lifetime of tomorrows
But providence had other plans
Of loneliness and sorrow

The cold snap of autumn
And the turning of the leaves
Brings back memories of our love
And again my heart grieves
And it seems like many years ago
Or maybe yesterday
But love is not time's fool
In the cold November grey

I have the watch you used to wear
With a gold and crystal face
The hands have stopped like time itself
Motionless in space
And I too am stuck in time
Between the present and the past
Where Novenber is an eternity
Where our love yet may last

The cold snap of autumn
And the turning of the leaves
Brings back memories of our love
And again my heart grieves
And it seems like many years ago
Or maybe yesterday
But love is not time's fool
In the cold November grey
