Badfinger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day, I feel the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day




Bring it home, baby, make it soon
I give my love to you.

It's sad but it's uplifting at the same time, it hints at despair but reminds you of the wonder and magic behind it all.. Amazing song.

@groovefunkel

Truly one of the greatest songs ever written.

@roberthendry614

Arguably Badfinger's best song. Slide guitar from Beatle George, piano from Leon Russell, what sounds like an orchestral choir.

@Ladyofthepond

Damn…. I remember hearing this song in the early morning before having to get to school in the early 70’s….. made me sad but also motivated me to get going despite my depression….. Good Lord I miss this band 50 years later

@dirkbag22

Damn is right. It's such a timeless, beautiful, heart wrenching song.

@saturnnet1627

Great but meloncholy song
