Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I call my sweetheart “Baby”
She calls me “Baby,” too
When there’s anyone near us
We never let them hear us
But for embraces
I know just where my place is
Chorus
My baby’s arms, hold all my charms
My baby’s eyes of blue
Just seem to thrill me
And fill me with a new sensation
My baby’s smile, there all the while
And if she’d tell me to stay
I’d like to snuggle away
And dream forever in my baby’s arms
- It seems my own sweet baby
Just loves to baby me
Though we both are grown up
We refuse to own up
She’s like a mother
How we do love each other
