Shirley Horn My Future Just Passed song lyrics

There goes the boyI dreamed all thru 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.
