D… Read Full Bio ↴Laura Fygi (born August 27, 1955, in Amsterdam) is a Dutch singer.
Daughter to a Dutch father, a manager at Philips, and an Egyptian mother, a belly dancer by profession, Fygi lived with her parents in South America for the first eight years of her life.
Between 1987 and 1991, she was a member of popular Dutch girl-band, Centerfold. During performances, the trio dressed themselves in sexy lingerie. They had hits in the Netherlands and all over Europe, and were equally famous in Japan.
In 1991, the ladies of Centerfold stopped performing and Fygi (together with Rowan Moore) started a band called The Backlot. After one performance in Dutch theatre Paradiso, an album was expected, but Mercury Records had already asked Fygi to make a solo album. This first album, Introducing Laura Fygi, comprised mostly jazz numbers, and was produced by Ruud Jacobs. In the album, Fygi was accompanied by celebrated Belgian musician Toots Thielemans.
Baby Come To Me
Laura Fygi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When love was only in the mind
I realize
Ain't no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
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 everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
Spendin' every 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 love is 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 everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
The night can be cold
There's a chill to every evening when you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you 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 everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
Come to me
This was meant to be
Need you everyday
Baby always stay
I can't go back to living without you
Without you
Without you

Thinkin' back in time
Reflecting on my past experiences
When love was only in the mind
When love was just a thought, an idea
I realize
I now understand
Ain't no second chance
You only have one opportunity
You got to hold on to romance
You must nurture your love
Don't let it slide
Don't let it deteriorate
There's a special kind of magic in the air
There's something extraordinary happening around us
When you find another heart that needs to share
When you meet someone who wants to share their love with you
Baby, come to me
My love, be with me
Let me put my arms around you
Let me hold you in my arms
This was meant to be
This is our destiny
And I'm oh so glad I found you
I'm very happy that I met you
Need you everyday
I require you every day
Got to have your love around me
I need to feel your love
Baby always stay
My love, please never leave me
'Cause I can't go back to living without you
I can't imagine living without you
Spendin' every dime
Spending all my money
To keep you talkin' on the line
To keep talking to you on the phone
That's how it was
That's how things were
And all those walks together
And all those walks we had together
Out in any kind of weather
Regardless of the weather outside
Just because
Just for the sake of it
There's a brand new way of looking at your life
There's a new perspective on life
When you know that love is standing by your side
When you know that someone loves and supports you
The night can be cold
The night can be chilly
There's a chill to every evening when you're all alone
Every night can feel cold and lonely when you don't have someone to keep you company
Don't talk anymore
We don't need to speak anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm
Because you know that I'll be here to provide you warmth
Without you
If I don't have you
Without you
If I don't have you
Without you
If I don't have you
