Baby's Coming Back to Me Lyrics

Outside there's children laughing
The radio plays my favourite song
The sun is shinning
Oh and peace broke out in the world
And no-one says a cruel word
And peace is the sweetest sound I've ever heard

And baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming home

She was just sleeping somewhere
Now she's come back to hold my hand
And we go walking
And the years have all melted away
Yeah I remember you like yesterday
And the summer's here so say goodbye to rain

And baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming home

I feel like I am surely dreaming
How can things oh-so-quickly change?
Well, it's strange but true
I'm telling you truthfully, see:

That baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming home

Oh, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
My baby's coming home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. It's interesting, but I don't think it is as sweet as it at first seems. I think Jarvis is just singing ab out the delusions of a man. He just repeats "yeah, baby's coming back to me". The first verse talks about how the world is perfect, but it isn't which sort of shows his delusions.
