In The Meantime Lyrics - Singles - Tim Rushlow

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
