"Three" lyrics - LAUREN ALAINA

Three weeks before I could even meet my brother's son
Didn't see him turn one or two
Three months I haven't made Sunday service once
I'm out on the road praying alone
Every night for a sign that I'm doing this right
And I'm right where I'm supposed to be

[Chorus:]
Mama said, "You'll be a star."
And daddy said, "You're gonna go far, all you gotta do is sing your heart out"
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
Have given me some of my best years
There's so much I had to miss out on
Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio

Three years of wishing that he was here holding my hand
No, I didn't plan for those three words
To be the ones that hurt
They don't sound the same from so far away

[Chorus:]
Mama said, "You'll be a star."
And daddy said, "You're gonna go far, all you gotta do is sing your heart out"
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
Have given me some of my best years
There's so much I had to miss out on
Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio

[Bridge:]
I'll do it for the three girls
At my show, who saved up for the third row
And the three times that I heard just this week that my words
Were sang by a three year old
Hairbrush for a microphone
Little girl with a dream
And that girl was me, yeah

[Chorus:]
My Mama said, "You'll be a star."
And Daddy said, "You're gonna go far, all you gotta do is sing your heart out"
A lot of miles, a lot of tears
Have given me my best years
There's so much I had to miss out on
Six years of missing home
But I'd spend fifty more gone for three minutes on the radio
