"I'm Leaving It Up to You" is a song written by and originally performed by Don Harris and Dewey Terry in 1957. It was later popularized in 1963 by the American duo Dale and Grace, who took this featured version to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 1974, Donny and Marie Osmond reached the top five on the US Hot 100 chart and peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart with their cover version.

The single also spent two weeks atop the easy listening chart. It was the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Dale and Grace were in Dallas on the day of the assassination and scheduled to perform that night as part of Dick Clark's Caravan of Stars (with Bobby Rydell, Jimmy Clanton, and Brian Hyland), and moments before the assassination had waved to the president's motorcade from a vantage point near their hotel.

This would ultimately become the 20th most popular record of 1963, according to the Billboard Top 100 Year-End Singles survey conducted that year.

LYRICS:
I'm leavin' it all up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love?
Or are we through?
That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love?
Or are we through?
I got my heart in my hand
I, I don't understand
Baby, what have I done wrong?
Even though I worship the ground that you walk on
That's why I'm leavin' it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love?
Or are we through?
