Lyrics When I Was Your Baby - Cliff Richard, Roberta Flack

When I Was Your Baby

Oh no, I swear, I didn’t plan it this way
Ah but seeing you there
Just takes my breath away
Just like a wake-up call
My mind remembers it all
And, oh yeah I’m fine
Trying to survive
I can tell by your eyes
Ooh you look so surprised
'Cause you remember me when
I was at the top of my game
Well, let me explain
There were a light once that shone on me
Confident, I believed, I was all I could be
No time for hard times
I was happy, I was free
Life was so, oh so good, when I was your baby
I’d laugh at myself, these feelings aren’t new
Just a byproduct of the life I once knew
Yes, my career is great
I should be satisfied, I guess
Ah, but let me tell you when I was at my best
There was a light once that shone on me
Confident and secure, I was all I could be
It was the best of times
I was happy, I was free
Life was so good when I was your baby, oh, oh, oh
Oh there was a light once that shone on me
Confident, I believed, I was all I could be
No time for hard times
I was happy, I was free
Life was oh so good when I was your baby
Oh ooh when I was your baby
Ooh, ooh, yeah
I don’t how long it’s been
But then seeing you just brings it back again
Oh baby, ooh
Don’t you know we had it all, oh yeah
I don’t know how long it’s been
But then seeing you just brings it back again
Oh oh oh yeah been missing you, missing kissing you
