Past Present & Future
( J. Leiber / G. Morton / A. Butler )

Past: Past well, now let me tell you about the past
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
Cause that will never happen again
Shall we dance?


The Future:
Tomorrow? Well, tomorrow's a long way off,
Maybe someday I'll hold 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, I'm going to fall in love
But at the moment, it doesn't look good,
At the moment, it'll never happen again.
I don't think it will ever happen again.
