Tumbledown: Listen
Make It Up To You
(Tumbledown)
Words & Music by Alan Collins
Lyrics:
Girl, you know that things have been so tough for me so long
There were times I didn’t think I’d make it through
Now looking back I realize I wasn’t really all that strong
And I laid the burden all on you
And I know your weary
Of all these changes I’ve put you through
Yeah, life with me ain’t been no picnic
But girl, I promise you
Chorus:
Ah - the worst of it all is over
Soon - the sun will come shining through
I’m - under a four-leaf clover
I’m - gonna make it up to you
Yeah I know it hasn’t been easy that for you, girl
Waiting for me to come around
But after being down so long, you know I finally feel
Like I’ve got my feet back on the ground
I believe the storm is over
The clouds are starting to clear
Although it seemed to take forever
To get from there to here
Repeat chorus
Yeah, I can feel my luck a-changin’
There’ll be time for rearrangin’
All these special things we hold on to
And when you’ve finally found
That I have come around
I hope that you will see how much you’ve meant to me
And how much I still love you
So let’s take each day as it comes and carry on the best we can
You know each one gets just a little brighter
Before you know it we’ll be right back where we began
So let’s hang on just a little tighter
Repeat chorus twice
