You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To
Lyambiko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'd be so nice to come home to
You'd be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You'd be all that I could desire

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above




You'd be so nice, you'd be paradise
To come home to and love

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from Lyambiko’s song, “You'd Be So Nice to Come Home to,” originally from the musical, “Something to Shout About,” written by Cole Porter in 1937. The singer is expressing their deep longing for someone they love to come home to. They mention how nice it would be to come home to this particular person, and how they would be found sitting by the fire, basking in the warmth and comfort of their partner’s love. The singer mentions that everything around them, even the breeze, would be singing this person’s praises, as they are all that they could desire.


The second stanza reinforces the sense of longing, as the singer imagines their ideal scenario, whether it be under a blanket of stars in the dead of winter, or on a warm summer night under the light of a full moon. Regardless of time or season, the person they’re addressing in the song is so desirable and perfect that they create their own sort of paradise. The lyrics have a romantic allure and convey the deep desire for intimacy and companionship.
