Baby's Coming Back to Me
Rekindling Hope: Baby's Triumphant Return
Lyrics
Outside there's children laughing
Positive atmosphere, joyful scenes with children laughing
The radio plays my favourite song
Personal connection to the music, a favorite song playing on the radio
The sun is shinning
Positive imagery of a sunny day
Oh and peace broke out in the world
Expressing a moment of global peace
And no-one says a cruel word
Highlighting the absence of negativity, nobody uttering unkind words
And peace is the sweetest sound I've ever heard
Peace is portrayed as a harmonious and pleasant experience
And baby's coming back to me
Anticipation and excitement for the return of a loved one
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Repetition emphasizing the joyous anticipation of the loved one's return
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
-Yeah, baby's coming home
-She was just sleeping somewhere
Reference to the loved one's absence, possibly metaphorical
Now she's come back to hold my hand
Embrace of the returned loved one and the intimacy of holding hands
And we go walking
Shared activities and companionship after the reunion
And the years have all melted away
The passage of time is described as the years melting away
Yeah I remember you like yesterday
Recollection of memories with the loved one
And the summer's here so say goodbye to rain
Celebration of the arrival of summer and the departure of rain
And baby's coming back to me
Reiteration of the joyous anticipation of the loved one's return
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
Surreal feeling, possibly overwhelmed by the positive changes
How can things oh-so-quickly change?
Reflection on the rapid and unexpected nature of positive transformations
Well, it's strange but true
Acknowledging the strange but true reality of the positive changes
I'm telling you truthfully, see:
Asserting the truthfulness of the statement
That baby's coming back to me
Repetition emphasizing the anticipation and certainty of the loved one's return
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
Final affirmation of the loved one's imminent return, completion of the narrative
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
-Yeah, baby's coming back to me
-My baby's coming home
