Holly Palmer - The Three Of Us Lyrics

"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"
