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 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
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
The lyrics of Andre Previn's Trio Jazz song "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" speak of the longing for a loved one's presence, emphasizing how comforting it would be to return home to their arms. The first two lines depict the singer's inner thoughts as they imagine the feeling of being with their loved one, warmed by the fire, while being serenaded by the wind outside. These lines also suggest that the singer is currently away from home, and that they have experienced something beyond just physical distance, perhaps something more emotionally distanced. The lullaby of the wind outside could represent the tranquility and peace that being with their lover could bring, calming the singer's heart as well.
The following verse takes us to a metaphorical place under the stars, "chilled by the winter", or in the summer, where they sing to their loved one, under the August moon. This verse implies that even in differing seasons, feelings for one's partner remain constant and unchanging. The repetition of the title phrase in the final lines brings the song's message back home. The person they long for, the one they describe as paradise, is the one they desire the most.

You'd be so nice to come home to
Coming home to you would be a comforting and pleasant experience
You'd be so nice by the fire
Being in your company by the warmth of the fire would be delightful
While the breeze on high, sang a lullaby
The calm, soothing breeze in the air would create a peaceful atmosphere
You'd be all my heart could desire
You would be everything I could ever want or need

Amidst the cold winter nights, with the stars illuminating the dark skies
Under an August moon shining above
On a summer night, with the bright moon glowing in the sky
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
Being with you in these beautiful moments would feel like heaven
To come home to and love
Returning to your loving presence would make everything perfect
