Come to me

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in my mind, I realize
Ain't no second chance
You've got to hold on to romance, don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share

Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you ev'ry day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you

Spendin' ev'ry dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walks together out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand-new way of looking at your life
When you know that they'll be standing by your side

Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you ev'ry day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay 'cause I can't go back to livin' without you

The nights can be cold
There's a chill to ev'ry evenin' when you're all alone

Don't talk anymore
'cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm
(Oh, darling keep me warm)

Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you ev'ry day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
'cause I can't go back to livin' without you

Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be and I'm oh so glad I found you
Need you ev'ry day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always stay
'cause I can't go back to livin' without you

Baby, come to me, let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm oh so glad I found you




Need you ev'ry day, gotta have your love around me
Baby, always
