Wish I Was Back In My Baby's Arms - Lena Horne

I wish I was back in my baby’s arms,

I wish I was back to stay!

Every time I kissed him,

I’d tell him how I missed him

And promise I would never go away!

Yes, I wish I was back in my baby’s arms,

I’d gladly take the blame!

I’d wrap my blues in cellophane and put them on the shelf,

And then I’d find a mirror and congratulate myself!

Oh-ho, I wish I was back in my baby’s arms,

And I wish my baby wished the same!

I wish I was back in my baby’s arms,

I wish I was back to stay!

Ah, every time, every time I kissed him,

I’d tell him, I’d tell him how I missed him

And promise, promise I would never go away!

Yes, I wish I was back in my baby’s arms,

Why I’d gladly take the blame!

I’d wrap my blues in cellophane, put 'em on the shelf,

And then I’d find a mirror and congratulate myself!

Yes, I wish I was back in my baby’s arms,

And I wish my baby wished,

And I wish my baby wished the same!
