She Called Me Baby
Bobby Bare · All-American Boy [Bear Family] [1994]
She called me baby, baby, all night long
Used to hold and kiss me till the dawn
Then one day I awoke and she was gone
Ah, there's no more baby, baby all night long.
Well she called me baby, baby, all night long
Lift me up so high and made me strong
Well, what I'd give if she'd just come back home
And call me baby, baby all night long.
--- Instrumental ---
Yeah, she called me baby, baby, all night long
Kissed my tears away when things went wrong
But now each night in dreams just like a song
I still hear baby, baby all night long.
But there's no more baby, baby, all night long...
