I thought that he would stay with me
And I was praying on my knee
His love is gone with summer blast
He is my future-in-the-past.
I did believe he would be mine
And all I asked was just his time
But all is done, the die is cast
He is my future-in-the-past.
I knew it would be hard to me
To let him go, to set him free
There's nothing more for us to last
He is my future-in-the-past.
