Come to me
Jack Hylton and His Orchestra 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

Line by Line Meaning

You went away
You left me


I let you
I didn't try to stop you


We broke the ties that bind
We ended our relationship


I wanted to forget you
I tried to erase memories of you


And leave the past behind
And move on from our history


Still, the magic of the night I met you
However, the memory of when we first met continues to affect me


Seems to stay forever in my mind
And it won't ever leave my thoughts


The sky was blue
The sky was painted blue


And high above
And we looked up to see it


The moon was new
The moon was in its crescent phase


And so was love
At the beginning of our relationship, love was just starting to grow


This eager heart of mine was singing
My passionate heart was filled with joy


Lover where can you be
But now, I can't find you anywhere


You came at last
Eventually, you came back to me


Love had its day
Our relationship had a good run


That day is past
But now it's over


You've gone away
You left me again


This aching heart of mine is singing
And now, all I can do is feel the pain in my heart


Lover come back to me
Please come back to me


When I remember every little thing
Whenever I recall the details


You used to do
That you used to do to make me happy


I'm so lonely
I feel incredibly isolated


Every road I walk along
As I travel down every path


I walk along with you
I imagine you're with me


No wonder I am lonely
It's no surprise I'm feeling this way


The sky is blue
The sky still looks blue


The night is cold
It's chilly outside


The moon is new
The moon is still in its crescent phase


But love is old
But our love has existed for a long time


And while I'm waiting here
And as I wait here alone


This heart of mine is singing
My heart continues to sing out


Lover come back to me
Asking you to return to me
