Baby Sweet Baby
Skeeter Davis · The Closest Thing to Love (RCA Victor) [1969]
(Skeeter Davis)
Without you my life is so empty
I'm sad and I'm blue as can be
Just a little sad girl in a big lonely world
Without you there's no love for me.
Baby, sweet baby, I love you so
Oh, why did you go
Baby, sweet baby, baby
Please come back to me.
--- Instrumental ---
We had a quarrel and you left me
And I've cried ever since you've been gone
Come on home like you should and I'll love you so good
For without you I just can't go on.
Baby, sweet baby, I love you so
Oh, why did you go
Baby, sweet baby, baby
Please come back to me...
Without you my life is so empty
I'm sad and I'm blue as can be
Just a little sad girl in a big lonely world
Without you there's no love for me.
Baby, sweet baby, I love you so
Oh, why did you go
Baby, sweet baby, baby
Please come back to me.

Baby, sweet baby, I love you so
Oh, why did you go
Baby, sweet baby, baby
Please come back to me...
