Come Back
Otis G. Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do you come from, my love
I haven't met someone like you in my whole life
Where do you wake up, my love
You let the sun shine through your smile and through your eyes
How did I meet you my dear
I can't remember since the feeling took over
I'd like to keep you near
I'd like to rest my head upon your shoulder

You come back, you come back, come back
You come back, you come back, come back
You come back, you come back to me
You come back, you come back, come back
You come back, you come back, come back
You come back, you come back to me

Since the day I met you I was born a little more
Into this world of shapes and colours and shifting forms
Funny how love can transform
And if the circumstances be that misfortune should fall on me
And I never see you again
I know I'll still be standing tall
From having known you at all
And for that, I'm thankful my friend

You come back, you come back, come back
You come back, you come back, come back
You come back, you come back to me
You come back, you come back, come back




You come back, you come back, come back
You come back, you come back to me
