The three of us lyrics Holly Palmer

The three of us

"Put the girls up for adoption"
Remember what a mess you were?
Though he made mistakes
I think we came out alright
Tell me is Annaliisa coming?
Oh Mama I could cry
How the years flew by
And now they're out of time
She put a finger to her lips
A strong arm 'round my waist

She said, "Now lay your head here upon my shoulder
Let the rain come down
People only do just what they want to do
Honey, it's not up to you"

Ma, it's good to see you
I know that he'd be glad you came
Do you think they tried to get it right?
She grabbed me by my chin
Then looked straight into my face

She said, "Now lay your head right here on my shoulder
Let the rain come down
People only do just what they want to do
It's all that they can do

Now lay your head here upon my shoulder
Let the rain fall down
People only do what they do
It's not up to you

Someday baby girl we're gonna sit here all together
Just the three of us
Somewhere close your papa will be proud

Lay your head here on me
And let the rain come down
Darling, don't you see?
They only do what they do
Sugar, it's not up to you

Now rest your brow right here on my shoulder
Let those tears come down
'Cause people only do just what they want to do
Honey, it's not up to you
It's not up to you"
