"Come Back To Me" lyrics
(originally by John Cullum)
For you folks at home who might listen to this record eventually
I would like to say that this is a very special night for me
And they've been a couple of special nights
Because this record is being recorded at around about
Well, as I look at my watch now, it is a quarter after 5
In Las Vegas, it is still swinging
Everything is happening
And in the audience tonight is predominately performers
Who have been nice enough
To come into the Sands Hotel's Copa Room after their shows
And this is the kind of way we, uh
We can communicate with one another
And it makes it much easier for that communication
If you have Buddy Rich at the drums, a marvelous band
So for the next ten or twelve sides
Just relax, sit down, and swing with us if you will
'Cause it's fun for me
And I hope it will be fun for those of you who listen
And any noises that come from the audience
Or any other people or any side noises you might hear
Know that they are not canned, they are live
Go, George
That's Buddy Rich
Hear my voice where you are
Take a train, steal a car
Hop a freight, grab a star
Come back to me
Catch a plane, catch a breeze
On your hands, on your knees
Swim or fly, only please
Come back to me
On a mule, in a jet
With your hair in a net
Or a towel wringing wet
I don't care, this is where you should be
From the hills, from the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn the highway to dust
Break the law if you must
Move the world, only just
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me, yeah
Have you gone to the moon
Or the corner saloon
And to rack and to ruin?
Mademoiselle
Where in hell can you be?
Well, in a crate, in a trunk
On a horse, on a drunk
In a Rolls or a van
Wrapped in mink or Saran
Any way that you can
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Come back to me
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Ooh, yeah
Bring it on back
If you don't bring it back
I'm gonna get it anyhow
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
Bring it on back
I would like to say that this is a very special night for me
And they've been a couple of special nights
Because this record is being recorded at around about
Well, as I look at my watch now, it is a quarter after 5
In Las Vegas, it is still swinging
Everything is happening
And in the audience tonight is predominately performers
