Three
Palmas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look in the sky
Up to all has been on
There are three stars
That are brightly shining for
There are shining all so bright
From Heaven above
June gonna miss you
Everybody sends the love

In Heaven there's love
In the back yard
It's the ending of the day
They are shining all so high
From Heaven above
Everybody sends the love

When the night is falling in the summer love
Tell me where you gonna stay tonight
When the night is falling when you're around
Ah

When the night is falling in the summer love
Tell me where you gonna stay tonight
