You' d Be So Nice To Come Home To
Andre Previn's Trio Jazz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high, sang a lullaby
You'd be all my heart could desire

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon shining above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above




You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

You'd be so nice to come home to
Coming back to you would be the most wonderful feeling


You'd be so nice by the fire
You would make the coziness by the fire even more delightful


While the breeze on high, sang a lullaby
As the wind hummed a soothing tune in the air


You'd be all my heart could desire
My heart desires nothing more than to be with you

You are the epitome of pleasantness and paradise to me


To come home to and love
To return to and cherish with all my love
