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 

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 

Lookin' back I can't explain 
What happened on that dark December day 
I guess we were just two kids 
Going different ways
