Then They Do Lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

1 In the early rush of morning

2 Trying to get the kids to school

3 One's hanging on my shirttail

4 Another's locked up

5 In her room

6 And I'm yelling up the stairs

7 Stop worrying 'bout your hair

8 You look fine

9 Then they're fightin' in the backseat

10 I'm playing referee

11 Now someone's gotta go

12 The moment that we leave

13 And everybody's late

14 I swear that I can't wait

15 'Till they grow up

16 Then they do

17 And that's how it is

18 It's just quiet in the morning

19 Can't believe

20 How much you miss

21 All they do

22 And all they did

23 You want all the dreams

24 They dreamed of

25 To come true

26 Then they do

27 Now the youngest is starting college

28 She'll be leavin' in the Fall

29 And Brianna's latest boyfriend

30 Called to ask if we could talk

31 And I got the impression

32 That he's about to pop the question any day

33 I look over at their pictures

34 Sittin' in their frames

35 I see them as babies

36 I guess that'll never change

37 You pray all their lives

38 That someday they will find happiness

39 Then they do

40 And that's how it is

41 It's just quiet in the morning

42 Can't believe

43 How much you miss

44 All they do

45 And all they did

46 You want all the dreams

47 They dreamed of

48 To come true

49 Then they do

50 No more Monday PTA's

51 No carpools

52 Or soccer games

53 Your work is done

54 Now you've got time

55 That's all your own

56 You've been waitin' for so long

57 For those days to come

58 Then they do

59 And that's how it is

60 It's just quiet in the morning

61 Can't believe

62 How much you miss

63 All they do

64 And all they did

65 You want all the dreams

66 They dreamed of

67 To come true

68 Then they do
