My Future Just Passed

My Future Just Passed - Carmen McRae

You will find my past not spotless

If you care to delve

Twenty broken hearts and not less

Before I was twelve

But from it all I've stopped

From the parade I dropped

Hope the future loves I've 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 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 sure 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 there

Now that I'm loving I'm living at last

My future just passed
