My Future Just Passed

My Future Just Passed

music by Richard A. Whiting (top l-r: Johnny Mercer, Richard Whiting)

lyric by George Marion, Jr.

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, though you're at a distance, you can at least do this.

Sometimes a boy encounters resistance, help me to win this miss...

Here in 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...
