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

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


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




(Repeat chorus)



Lookin' back I can't explain


What happened on that dark December day

I guess we were just two kids


Going different ways



(repeat chorus)
