[Verse 1]
Well, her old friend
From her own end of town
Dropped by today
And way down deep inside me
Something died when he came 'round
To see her that way
Here it comes again
That same old chilly wind will blow
Like a cold winter squall
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

[Verse 2]
And I'll be drinking again
And thinking whenever he calls
There's a storm coming on
And it won't be too long 'til the snow falls
Oh, I'll be sober some
But when October comes and goes
In no time at all
I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall

[Bridge]
Oh, how quick they slip away
Here today and gone tomorrow
Love and seasons never stay
Bitter winds are sure to follow

[Verse 3]
Now there's no doubt
It's going to be cold out tonight
I've shivered all day
When I look in her eyes
Needing to hold her so tight
She just looks away
Oh, she'll swear that it's true
He's just someone she knew long ago
But I'll know that's not all
And I'll begin to feel the chill of an early fall
