Carmen McRae
My Future Just Passed
You will find my past not spotless
If you care to delve
Twenty broken hearts and not less
Before I was twelve
But from then on I stopped
From the parade I dropped
Hopes of future loves I'd started
To shelve

But 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 hе has been spoken for
If he is tied, thе 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 assure me but
Sometimes a girl encounters resistance
Help me to win this boy

Here are my arms, may he 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

Kiss my two lips, remove all the rouge on them
Now that I'm loving, I'm living at last
My future just passed
