Come to me
Patti Austin & James Ingram 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
When you find another heart that needs to share
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 livin' 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
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 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 livin' without you.
Baby come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm 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 livin' without you.
Baby come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And I'm 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 livin' without you.
The lyrics of "Baby Come To Me" by Patti Austin & James Ingram convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for love. The song speaks about the magic of finding someone with whom to share moments and the importance of holding on to this feeling when it comes. The first line of the song "thinkin' back in time when love was only in the mind" suggests that love is not something that can be experienced without certain memories or experiences, a sentiment that is echoed in the line "there ain't no second chance, you got to hold on to romance, don't let it slide." The message here is clear: if you find someone special, don't take the relationship for granted and make sure to put in the effort to keep it alive.
The lyrics continue to highlight the importance of love and connection: "there's a special kind of magic in the air when you find another heart that needs to share." This line suggests that love is not just about finding someone who makes you happy, but also about sharing experiences with someone who values and appreciates them in the same way you do. The chorus of the song "Baby come to me, let me put my arms around you, this was meant to be, and I'm so glad I found you" is a plea to the person they love to come to them and reaffirms their commitment and love for them.
Overall, "Baby Come To Me" is a powerful declaration of love, emphasizing the importance of cherishing it once you find it and fighting to keep it alive.

I would spend all my money just to keep talking to you, and we would go on walks together in any weather just because we enjoyed each other's company. When you know that love is always with you, it brings new meaning to your life and a fresh perspective on everything.

Well,I'm a 64 yr old musician,& I'm finding that young people are hipper to old school music than I used to think.Had lunch recently with a friend at a nice bar/restaurant,they have pool tables,a young black couple were shooting pool,this song came on,& the young lady was ecstatic, dancing & singing along.Did my heart good.
