Baby Come Back
The All Star Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

You went away
You left me
I let you
I allowed you to go
We broke the ties that bind
We ended our relationship
I wanted to forget you
I desired to erase you from my memory
And leave the past behind
And move on from what happened before
Still, the magic of the night I met you
Nevertheless, the enchantment of the night when I first encountered you
Seems to stay forever in my mind
Seems to remain eternally in my thoughts
The sky was blue
The sky had a blue hue
And high above
And far overhead
The moon was new
The moon was in its waxing phase
And so was love
And so was the feeling of affection
This eager heart of mine was singing
This enthusiastic heart of mine was filled with joy
Lover where can you be
My lover, where are you now?
You came at last
You finally arrived
Love had its day
Love had its moment
That day is past
That moment has ended
You've gone away
You have departed
This aching heart of mine is singing
This pained heart of mine is expressing its sorrow
Lover come back to me
My lover, please return to me
When I remember every little thing
When I recall every small detail
You used to do
You used to perform or say
I'm so lonely
I feel extremely alone
Every road I walk along
Every path I traverse
I walk along with you
I walk alongside you in my thoughts
No wonder I am lonely
No wonder I feel isolated
The sky is blue
The sky remains blue
The night is cold
The night feels chilly
The moon is new
The moon is in its early phase
But love is old
But love has existed for a long time
And while I'm waiting here
And while I am patiently waiting in this place
This heart of mine is singing
This heart of mine is expressing its emotions
Lover come back to me
My lover, please return to me
