november
She was sittin' on a park bench  Feedin' pigeons on Beacon Hill  I was takin' my dog Jack out for a run  We had a 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 talkin'  Laughin' 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  Fallin' on my face  My arms all around her  There's always somethin' 'bout this time of year  That takes me to that place  And I remember  (Yes, I remember)  November  Oh yeah   She was workin' her way through school  Waitin' tables at the Hungry Eye  I was playin' a club down on the waterfront  Afterward she'd come by   Around 3 AM we'd grab some takeout  In the heart of Chinatown  And we'd hang out and stay up all night long  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  Going different ways   [Chorus]
