In The Meantime Lyrics - Sherrié Austin

Hmm 

Yeah, yeah 

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 in 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 'till 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 

Every boy 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 

But 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 'till 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 been's 

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 'till later 

Get the bills paid, buy the groceries 

Take time to stop and smell the roses 

Ain't it funny? Ain't it fine? How life goes on 

Ain't it funny? Ain't it fine? 

How life goes on in the meantime 

In the meantime 

Ooh, in the meantime 

Life goes on in the meantime 

Ain't it funny? In the meantime 

Hoah, in the meantime
