Tim Rushlow - 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 cla** 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
