Come to me
Angie & Debbie Winans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a while since you were here with me
Went away so suddenly
Must have been five years at least
Now, you should know
Some things changed while you were gone
Had your baby, your only son
[Chorus]
Come and live with me
And maybe we can raise a family
With all the love you give to me
Why don't you come home
Now I know this is a shock to you
You're probably questioning if it's true
But you can take the test to prove
What you and I both know is true
You should know
The day before they took you away
Results from that test I took that day
Don't deny your beautiful fate, so
[Chorus]
You see it really doesn't matter
Where you've been or how long
In my heart you left a vacancy
Why don't you come home
A promise is a promise
You know what you said
Come hell or high water
You are waiting there
[Chorus]
Live with me (Baby, baby, baby, baby)
Family (You'll be my family, ooh)
Give to me (I give you all the love you need baby, baby)
Home
Come on home, hmmm
The lyrics to Angie & Debbie Winans's song "Come To Me" tell a story about a man who has been away from home for five years and is now being invited to return. The singer introduces herself to the man and tells him that while he was gone, she had a baby and didn't let anybody know. She invites him to come and live with her, suggesting that they can raise a family together. She understands that this news may come as a shock, but she assures the man that he can take a test to confirm that he is the father. The song ends with the singer asking the man to come home.
The song speaks to the theme of unconditional love, emphasizing that it doesn't matter where you have been or what you have done, home is always where the heart is. The singer is willing to overlook the man's absence and the fact that he never knew about the baby, prompting listeners to reflect on the power of forgiveness and second chances.
