Meantime

(专辑： Liza! Liza! - 1964)

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 loving and my living
I gotta do it in the time I'm given
Meantime may mean nothing to posterity
But in the meantime, doing nothing sure is a-worrying 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 doing without

'Cause it's the meantime, meantime
All they gave me is this in-between time
For my loving and my living
I gotta do it in the time I'm given
Meantime may mean nothing to posterity
But in the meantime, doing nothing sure is a-worrying

The way the time's a-hurrying
Meantime sure is a-worrying me
Oh me, poor me
