In The Meantime Lyrics

In The Meantime lyrics

(Sherrie Austin/Will Rambeaux/Rob Crosby)



Jeannie had big plans, a
ballerina, Broadway bound

And that '87 Honda was gonna get her out of this
town

Caviar for breakfast, a limo waiting every night

White chiffon and
black tie, her name up on the marquee lights

Oh, how her star was gonna
shine

Oh, but in the meantime



Make the coffee, read the
paper

Late for work, dreams will wait 'til later

Get the bills paid,
buy the groceries

No time to stop and smell the roses

Ain't it funny,
ain't it fine

How life goes on, in the meantime



Bobby had a fast
ball, everybody talked about

He made it to the minors, struck a hundred
batters out

But something in his elbow, gave out in the final game

He
had an operation, never threw quite the same

Yeah, he'll be back when his
arm is fine

Yeah, but in the meantime



Make the coffee, read the
paper

Late for work, dreams will wait 'til later

Get the bills paid,
buy the groceries

No time to stop and smell the roses

Ain't it funny,
ain't it fine

How life goes on, in the meantime



Now Jeannie takes
the girls to dance class Wednesday afternoons

And Bobby coaches Little
league, Junior will be pitching soon

Sometimes at night  they laugh about
old meant to be's and might have beens

But 6 o'clock comes  early and it's
time to start the day again



Make the coffee, read the paper

Late
for work, dreams will wait 'til later

Get the bills paid, buy the
groceries

No time to stop and smell the roses

Ain't it funny, ain't it
fine

How life goes on, in the meantime
