Lyrics My Future Just Passed - Carmen McRae, Ben Webster

My Future Just Passed

There goes the girl I dreamed all through school about
There goes the girl 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 she has been spoken for
If she 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 do this
Sometimes a boy encounters resistance
Help me to win this miss
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
