The past.
Well now, let me [G] tell you about the past.
The past is filled with [Eb] silent joys,

and teasing boys.
[Db] Was I ever [Db] in love?
I called it love.
[Gm] I mean, it felt like love.
[Cm] There were [G] moments when,
well, there [Cm] were [F] moments when.

Present.
Go out with you?
Why not?

[G] The [Cm] future.
Tomorrow?
Well, [G] tomorrow's a long way off.
Maybe someday I'll take [Eb] somebody's hand.
Maybe
[G] somewhere, [Eb] someone will [Ab] understand.
You know, I used to sing.
[Db] A tisket, a tassel, [Fm] a [Ab] green and [Db] yellow basket.
[Gm] I'm all packed up and I'm on my [Cm] way.
I'm gonna [Ab] fall in love.

But at the [G] moment,
it doesn't [F] look good.

At the moment, it will [G] never happen again.
I don't think [Cm] it will ever [F] happen again.
