Then There Was Three
Words and Music by Jeff Hartman
Once upon ten years in a land of only children
East of Brunswick
Three houses on the right down Kerschner Lane
Imagine if you will a boy without a brother in love with the idea of making the room
The moment would arrive when 1985 returned a boy
Then there was three
Much to their surprise
Wish I could bottle the look in their eyes
I’ll never be lonely
This much we agree
I once was only
Then there was three
Fast Forward 20 years in a land of only children
North of Carolina
South of anything considered home
Imagine if you still a boy without a brother completely unaware he’s making the room
The moment would arrive when 2-double-zero-5 returned a boy
Then there was three
Much to my surprise
Wish I could bottle the look in my eyes
He’ll never be lonely
This much we agree
I once was only
Then there was three
I never needed anyone but
Two by two the Saints came marching in and pulled me through thick and thin
Father, son, we begin
When there is three
Much to our surprise
Wish I could bottle the love in His eyes
We’ll never be lonely
We all should agree
We once were only
Then there was three
