Baby's Coming Home
Kitty Wells · Love Makes the World Go Around [1967]
Tonight baby's coming home.
Clean the house and dust the chandelier
Make my face and then comb out my hair
And then I'll put this baby's dress on
Tonight baby's coming home.
For a while I thought our love was gone
But both of us now know that we were wrong
No longer will my nights be spent alone
Tonight baby's coming home.
For a while I thought our love was gone
But both of us now know that we were wrong
No longer will my nights be spent alone
Tonight baby's coming home.
Tonight baby's coming home...
