Comme Dans La Haute - Carmen McRae

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, tho' you’re at a distance

You can at least do this

Sometimes a boy encounters resistance

Help me to win this miss

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
