Lost in the blue October sky,
Within the sweet by and by,
My thoughts floating up so high,
Contemplating the question why,
My heart did long ago say goodbye,
My eyes are long since dry,
My words do not tell a lie,
But this flare; I did try,
All these memories I now untie,
I see how you were so sly,
And how my path went awry,
My own heart, it had to die,
Just so my spirit could fly,
Sigh,
My thoughts floating up so high,
Within the sweet by and by,
Lost in the blue October sky.
