Whatever Became Of Her lyrics

There they are

Smiling so wide

Like there's nothing to lose

And nothing to hide

They look forward with innocence

She is his bride

The future's a radiant blur

So I wonder whatever became of him

Whatever became of her?

A little boutique

On the Upper East Side

Picture a couple so dignified

Two hat boxes fall

And feathers collide

Darling tell me

Which one do you prefer?

Well I wonder whatever became of him

Whatever became of her?

Everything breaks

Except the broken plates

Everything gets stolen

Except the things

You don't want anyway

The things you don't want anyway

She played the piano

And he used to smoke

She used to slap her own thigh

When he made a joke

He started her heart

Whenever he spoke

His own turning cold, like a bird

Well I wonder whatever became of him

Whatever became of her?

I want to say,

"No, go back, resist

Don't step out of the photograph

Don't hurt yourselves

Stay innocent

Don't hurt yourselves"

Two shadows playing

Across the lawn

Is it tomorrow's twilight

Or yesterday's dawn?

You can hardly make out

What they've got on

But they're mighty in love, you'll agree

So I wonder whatever became of him

Whatever became of me?
