CALE J.J. & CLAPTON Eric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need nowhere else to go
Cause I get all the love I need
From three little girls
They're in the garden collectin' snails
On the bed read fairy tales
I get all I'll ever need
Cause all my world's sad and weary
All my days were windin' down
Then you showed me a better way
My three little girls
Lord, you put me to the test
And led me through the wilderness
Then you showed me a brighter day
With three little girls
Julie Rose and Ellen May
Sophie Bell, you came to stay
You take my breath away
My three little girls
Cause all my world's sad and weary
All my days were windin' up
You showed me a better way
My three little girls, three little girls
