"Past, Present and Future" was recorded by the Shangri-Las in 1966.
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 where...
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?
Future
Tomorrow?
Well, tomorrow's 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 on my way and 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.
@rogandsal that is a dumb statement . but I kind of know what you mean, If you listen to the words its musical poetry and really should be classified as a classic piece of music .
