Lyrics
Past, Present And Future
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The past, past, well now let me tell you about the
past
The past is filled with silent joys and broken toys,
laughing girls and teasing boys,
Was I ever in love? I called it love- I mean, it felt
like love,
There were moments when, well, there were moments
when
Present, Go out with you? Why not
Do I like to dance? Of Course,
Take a walk along the beach tonight? I'd love to,
But don't try to touch me, don't try to touch me
Cos that will never happen again,
Shall we dance
The future, Tommorow? well tommorows a long way off
Maybe someday I'll have somebody's hand
Maybe somewhere someone will understand
You know I used to sing- a tisket a tasket a green and
yellow basket
I'm all packed up and I'm on my way and I'm gonna fall
in love,
But at the moment it doesn't look good
At the moment it will never happen again
I don't think it will ever happen again.
