October Morning

Oh, my beautiful October I wish to embrace your morning I shall take a walk Though I may catch a chill. I trudge through the fields In the Surrey countryside Walking Gip and Meg As the sun reaches its height. I satnd on top of Box hill Whilst the dogs sniff for a rabbit Could it be that this is where I last saw you? My dearest October Morning. This is where we said "Hello" And this is where we said "Goodbye" This is where you made my heart complete And this is where you broke it. How are you now? Are you happy? Did you find someone else? For if you are happy Then I am happy Even though for me there is no one else.
