Come Back
Bennett On Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You went away
I let you
We broke the ties that bind
I wanted to forget you
And leave the past behind
Still, the magic of the night I met you
Seems to stay forever in my mind
The sky was blue
And high above
The moon was new
And so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover where can you be

You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing

You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely

The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing

You used to do
I grow lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely

The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here




This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me

Overall Meaning

The song "Lover Come Back to Me" by Bennett On is a heart-wrenching ballad about lost love and the nostalgic longing for the past. The lyrics begin by expressing regret for letting the person go and attempting to forget them, but ultimately failing as the memories of their meeting stay forever in their mind. The imagery of the sky being blue and high above, as well as the new moon representing a fresh start, reflect the hope and innocence of falling in love. However, as time passes and the love fades, the singer is left with aching loneliness and the desire for their lover to return. The repetition of "lover come back to me" conveys the desperation and vulnerability the singer feels without their lost love.


The song is not just a typical love song, but rather a timeless classic that has been covered by numerous artists throughout history. The song was written by composer Sigmund Romberg and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II for the 1928 operetta "The New Moon." Over the years, it has been recorded by legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Barbra Streisand. The song has also been featured in various films and TV shows such as "The Jazz Singer" and "Murder, She Wrote."


Line by Line Meaning

You went away
You left, without me doing anything to make you stay


I let you
I didn't put up a fight or plead with you to stay


We broke the ties that bind
We ended our relationship, and all the connections that came with it


I wanted to forget you
I wished to erase all memories of you from my mind


And leave the past behind
To put the sadness and pain we caused each other in the past


Still, the magic of the night I met you
The special moment of fate when we first encountered still lingers in my memory


Seems to stay forever in my mind
It's something I can't help but recall whenever I think of you or love


The sky was blue
It was a beautiful clear day


And high above
Up in the sky, above the world below


The moon was new
A new phase of the moon had begun


And so was love
At that moment, we were just starting to fall in love


This eager heart of mine was singing
I was filled with joy and optimism about my feelings for you


Lover where can you be
Wondering and wishing where you are, and if we could still be together


You came at last
Finally, after a long time of wanting, we were together


Love had its day
Our relationship had a time of happiness and love


That day is past
Sadly, that happy period has faded into the past


You've gone away
After the happiness we felt, you decided to leave


This aching heart of mine is singing
My heart is still filled with pain and yearning for your presence


Lover come back to me
I'm still hopeful and wanting you to come back to be with me once more


When I remember every little thing
Every detail and moment of our time together still haunts my memory


You used to do
The things you did and said while we were in love and together


I'm so lonely
The absence of someone I loved and cherished leaves me feeling empty and sad


Every road I walk along
Anywhere I go or anything I do reminds me of you


I walk along with you
Your memories and influence still feel very close to me


No wonder I am lonely
It's no surprise that my loneliness persists when thoughts of you won't leave me alone


The night is cold
It's a time that typically feels lonely and emotionally harsh


But love is old
The feelings we shared have been around for long periods in our lives and history


And while I'm waiting here
Despite the pain, I still hold onto hope that you're coming back soon


This heart of mine is singing
The feelings of love and yearning inside of me will not stop


Lover come back to me
I long for your love and presence by my side

Matthew Sharpe

Give this man a statue in Athens, Georgia!! 🗿

Bradley Brewster

Of a single player when it was the ENTIRE team that deserves the praise ? Seems fair lol

j jones

@Bradley Brewster imagine asking for a statue of a 25 year old college football player

Paddy Tank

You da man Stetson! Without a doubt a Georgia legend.

Run Rafa Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD

Hopefully his NFL career is even better. So many young talented QB's coming to the league.

Aunt Tim

He’s probably just gonna be another Tim Tebow or AJ McCarron

Alexander Kwan

I don't know about him having a good NFL career; he's undersized, his arm strength is below average, which works against you when you're undersized, plus he'll be one old rookie if he gets to the pro's and to be honest, I didn't know that he's actually older than guys like Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence and Mac Jones. That being said, there's no shame in not having an NFL career; most of these guys in college don't make it to the NFL and for the most part, they're students first and athletes second.
