Song DescriptionRomantically moving moderate tempo retro pop song to take the listener into an experience when "love is a stranger when you are mixed up inside" to ask someone from the past if there could be one more day together again.
Story Behind the SongWritten about another recording artist who had a crush on Nikki but Nikki is loyal and could not be tempted out of her current relationship at that time. Later when once again single Nikki wanted to know if there was a chance on an October day to revisit that attraction once more.
Lyrics
HEY IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY
AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SHOW
HOW MANY TIME I'VE LOOKED OUT IN THE CROWD
AND SANG OUT LOUD
Cause ONCE I COULD HAVE TOUCHED YOU
AND LAID BY YOUR SIDE
BUT LOVE IS A STRANGER
WHEN YOU'RE MIXED UP INSIDE
NOW HAS YOUR LOVE FOR ME DIED?
HEY, IT'S A COLD WINTERS DAY
SO WHY CAN'T WE TAKE A WALK IN THE SUNLIGHT
AND TALK OF THE PAST
EXCHANGE THOSE TOUCHING GLANCES
AND MAKE THE WARMTH LAST
Yes WHAT CAN I SAY oh I NEED YA MORE I WANT YA MORE
THAN ANY ANY OTHER YESTER-DAY
HEY IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY (...)
Cause ONCE I COULD HAVE TOUCHED YOU
AND LAID BY YOUR SIDE
BUT LOVE IS A STRANGER
WHEN YOU'RE MIXED UP INSIDE
SO FORGET YOUR PRIDE & RUN TO ME
NOW IT'S COLD OUTSIDE please COME TO ME
Oh HEY IT'S AN OC-TO-BER DAY.
HEY, IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY......
HEY, HEY, IT'S AN OCTOBER DAY.
HEY....
