Dolly Parton - In The Meantime Lyrics

You know people been talking about the end of time ever since time began
We've been living in the last days ever since the first day ever since the
dawn of Man
Well nobody knows when the end is coming but some people tell you they do
Well it might be today, it might be tomorrow, or in a million years or two...

In the meantime, in between time, let us make time to make it right
And let us not fear what is not clear; faith should be your guide, just
follow this advice:

And...
Think about love; Think about living
Think about love sharing and giving
Drop the Doomsday attitude and let the spirit flow
These are wonderful times we're living in
God still walks in the hearts of Men
And Eden's garden waves within so let the flowers grow

Well we rant and we rave about the "good ol' days" and how different it was
"back then"
Well the greatest days we've ever known are the days we're living in
Well we worry about earthquakes, aliens from outer space, nuclear holocaust
Well we're so consumed with the fear of dying; the joy of living is lost

In the meantime, in between time, let us make time to make amends
Lead the good life, just treat this planet right and try to all be friends
and say with me again:

Ohhh... !
Think about life; Think about living
Think about love-- caring and giving
Drop this Doomsday attitude and get on with the show
We've walked on the moon; been to Mars
Technically we've come so far
But still we wonder who we are
The farther along we go
(Doodle-doodle doo-doo-doo... ooh-ooh)

You know people been talking about the end of time ever since time began
We've been living in the last days ever since the first day ever since the
dawn of Man
Well nobody knows when the end is coming—well that's what the Scriptures
say
But that's a secret known only to God, he says to just watch and pray

In the meantime, what's the hurry?
In the meantime now don't you worry
In the meantime live, laugh- be merry
In the meantime, in the meantime
In the meantime troubles gonna show us
In the meantime the sky is still above us
In the meantime you know God's gonna love us
In the meantime, in the meantime, in the meantime...
