my future just passed
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.
