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?
