Bonnie Raitt Then They Do Lyrics

Then They Do Lyrics

In the early rush of morning
Trying to get the kids to school
One's
hanging on my shirttail
Another's locked up
In her room
And I'm
yelling up the stairs
Stop worrying 'bout your hair
You look
fine

Then they're fightin' in the backseat
I'm playing referee
Now
someone's gotta go
The moment that we leave
And everybody's late
I
swear that I can't wait
'Till they grow up

(Chorus) 
Then they
do
And that's how it is
It's just quiet in the morning
Can't
believe
How much you miss
All they do
And all they did
You want all
the dreams
They dreamed of
To come true
Then they do

Now the
youngest is starting college
She'll be leavin' in the Fall
And Brianna's
latest boyfriend
Called to ask if we could talk
And I got the
impression
That he's about to pop the question any day

I look over at
their pictures
Sittin' in their frames
I see them as babies
I guess
that'll never change
You pray all their lives
That someday they will find
happiness

(Chorus) 
Then they do
And that's how it is
It's just
quiet in the morning
Can't believe
How much you miss
All they
do
And all they did
You want all the dreams
They dreamed of
To come
true
Then they do

No more Monday PTA's
No carpools
Or soccer
games
Your work is done
Now you've got time
That's all your
own
You've been waitin' for so long
For those days to
come

(Chorus) 
Then they do
And that's how it is
It's just
quiet in the morning
Can't believe
How much you miss
All they
do
And all they did
You want all the dreams
They dreamed of
To come
true
Then they do
