The Three Of Us Lyrics - Holly Palmer

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 Annalisa coming? 

Oh Mama, I could cry 

How the years flew by, 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 make it right? 

She grabbed me by my chin 

And then looked straight into my face 

She said, "Now lay your head 

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 

Right here upon my shoulder let the rain fall down 

People only do just what they want to do 

It's not up to you 

And 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 

Oh, oh, yeah, yeah 

Rest your brow 

Right here on my shoulder, let those tears come down 

'Cause what they want to do 

Is not up to you, is not up to you
