My Future Just Passed
Shirley Horn
There goes the boy I dreamed all through school about,
There goes the boy I'll now be a fool about
Ring down the curtain, I'm certain at present
My future just passed.
Don't even know if he has been spoken for.
If he is tied, the ties must be broken, for
life can't be that way,to wake me then break me
My future just passed.
Stars in the blue, tho' you're at a distance
You can at least reassure me,
Sometimes a girl encounters resistance
Help Me to win this boy
Here are my arms, may she find illusion there.
Look in my heart, there is no confusion there
Now that I'm loving, I'm living at last,
My future just passed.
