Song Facts:

This was initially released in 1981 on Patti Austin's album Every Home Should Have One. In the spring of 1982, it peaked at #73 on the US charts. Months later, the song found new life when it was used in the ABC soap opera General Hospital for romantic scenes involving Luke Spencer (played by Anthony Geary) after his wife Laura temporarily left the show. ABC got lots of calls and letters about the song, and Warner Brothers Records decided to re-release this as a single due to popular demand. It hit #1 in the US in the early part of 1983. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)

Quincy Jones produced this. Both Austin and Ingram had worked with Jones in the past and signed to his record label, Quest.

Rod Temperton wrote this. This is one of many songs he wrote that Quincy Jones produced.

Others include Michael Jackson's "Rock With You," "Off The Wall" and "Thriller," as well as songs by The Brothers Johnson and Rufus with Chaka Khan.

Ingram has done a lot of duets, including "Just Once" with Quincy Jones, "Yah Mo B There" with Michael McDonald, and "Somewhere Out There" with Linda Ronstadt.

After 2 weeks at #1 in the US, this was replaced by Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." That song was also produced by Jones.

Patti Austin is the goddaughter of Quincy Jones. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 5)

[Lyrics]

[Verse]
Thinkin' back in time
When love was only in my mind
I realize..

Ain't no second chance
You got to hold on to romance
Don't let it slide
There's a special kind of magic in the air
When you find another heart that needs to share

[Chorus]
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And i'm oh so glad i found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause i can't go back to livin' without you

[Verse]
Spendin' every dime
To keep you talkin' on the line
That's how it was
And all those walk together
Out in any kind of weather
Just because
There's a brand new way of looking at your life
When you know that love is standing by your side

[Bridge]
The night can be cold
There's a chill to every evening when you're all alone
Don't talk anymore
'Cause you know that I'll be here to keep you warm

[Chorus]
Baby, come to me
Let me put my arms around you
This was meant to be
And i'm oh so glad i found you
Need you everyday
Got to have your love around me
Baby always stay
'Cause i can't go back to livin' without you
