Meantime Songtext
von Liza Minnelli

Before I was born, a lot of things happened
A lot of things happened, but not to me
Before I was born, a lot of things happened
That I didn′t happen to see

After I'm gone, a lot of things′ll happen
A lot of things'll happen, oh Lord, amen
Yes, after I'm gone, a lot of things′ll happen
But I won′t know about them


'Cause it′s the meantime, meantime
All they gave me is this in-between time
For my lovin' and my livin′
I gotta do it in the time I'm given
Meantime may mean nothin′ to posterity
But in the meantime, doin' nothin' sure is a-worryin′ me

Before I was born, a lot of love happened
A lot of love happened, there is no doubt
And after I′m gone, a lot of love'll happen
That I′ll be doin' without

′Cause it's the meantime, meantime
All they gave me is this in-between time
For my lovin′ and my livin'
I gotta do it in the time I'm given
Meantime may mean nothin′ to posterity
But in the meantime, doin′ nothin' sure is a-worryin′

The way the time's a-hurryin′
Meantime sure is a-worryin' me
Oh me, poor me
