Performer Shangri-Las
Title Past, present and future
Lyrictext

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 is a long way off
Maybe some day 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
And I'm going to 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
