Come Back To Me My Melody 1912

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 07 Aug 2005

A man composed a sweet melody
one summer night in June,
and he played that pretty tune
till he learned to love it soon;
he ne'er wrote down that sweet melody,
and very strange one day
he found that pretty melody
had vanished from his memory.
He cried as he tried to recall that tune,
then sang to it tenderly

Come back to me, my melody,
Come back to where you ought to be,
I want you, don't you understand?
Locked up in my baby grand,
just where I can lay my hand on thee.
Oh! I miss you so,
more than you may know,
don't you know it's very wrong
to be where you don't belong?
Oh! Please come back to me my melody.

Come back to me, my melody,
Come back to where you ought to be,
I want you, don't you understand?
Locked up in my baby grand,
just where I can lay my hand on thee.
Oh! I miss you so,
more than you may know,
don't you know it's very wrong
to be where you don't belong?
Oh! Please come back to me my melody.

The man who wrote that sweet melody
tried to recall the strain,
but it ne'er came back again,
so he gave it up in vain;
one night he heard an orchestra play
strains of a sweet refrain,
he recognized his melody,
although they changed it cleverly
he ran to the man and he loudly cried:
"That music belongs to me!"

Come back to me, my melody,
Come back to where you ought to be,
I want you, don't you understand?
Locked up in my baby grand,
just where I can lay my hand on thee.
Oh! I miss you so,
more than you may know,
don't you know it's very wrong
to be where you don't belong?
Oh! Please come back to me my melody.

Come back to me, my melody,
Come back to where you ought to be,
I want you, don't you understand?
Locked up in my baby grand,
just where I can lay my hand on thee.
Oh! I miss you so,
more than you may know,
don't you know it's very wrong
to be where you don't belong?
Oh! Please come back to me my melody.
