In the Meantime - Dolly Parton

Lyrics by：Dolly Parton

Composed by：Dolly Parton

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 old 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 going to show us

In the meantime the sky is still above us

In the meantime you know God's going to love us

In the meantime in the meantime in the meantime
