Taylor, James - Baby Boom Baby Lyrics






Somehow the season always brings a picture of you, baby boom baby
Holding on for everything you figured you're due, little turtleneck girl
The moon on your shoulder, the wind in your lovely hair, oh what a night
We sat on the beach and watched as the sun rose into the Summer air

You said we couldn't miss what we never knew
something about something that you had to do
sitting on the sand with a hole in my shoe

I had no way of knowing where you might have been, time goes by
All on my own I imagine you a life in between, all own my own
Wrote a long letter but it never made it out of my head, oh, oh
somehow reading your name it wasn't the same as leaving the thing unsaid

How come I miss what I never knew
drag out the past just to paint it blue
and spend my days with a dream of you?

Oh, after the fall, here I'm trying to find our name on the wall
It was neither yours nor mine, it was something of the two combined
from a time spent out of time

I work hard to see that you remember my name, nod your head yes
Do all I can to make you want to see me again, oh what a night
Got a letter from the mail, got a message from the telephone
Seems you're working in town, moving around and living alone

Now I'm caught in the spotlight, walking the wire
my feet are frozen and my heart's on fire
what do I do if my dream comes true?
La la la, la la la la la...

  1. J.... ....

    Guys I'm just tryna look for this song that goes "dun, dun du du du duh, dududuh dun, dun du du du duh, dududuh dun duhdu- boom baby baby"

    That one, you know the one that they used to play back in Elementary School at PE in dodgeball?

    Pls help I just wanna know the songs name so I can put it in my playlist ;-;

  2. J.... T....

    Wish I could have heard this live

  3. c.... s....

    Great song...equally great video

  4. p.... ....

    I love James. And, I grew up listening to him. But this, this is one of my top 5 JT songs....it has a very special meaning for me, and a very special place in my heart. I had no idea after all these years that it had a video. The video is perfect, as is the song. We just saw James in STL last year....I have been fortunate enough to say I have seen him 8 times now. Every time he is fabulous.... he will always be my FAVORITE!!

  5. R.... ....

    I've noticed that a lot of people never knew about this video.... And after years and years I've discovered it today....

  6. r.... ....

    Agreed. Hard to believe this is listed among the finest songs ever crafted by James Taylor, who had admittedly has written so many great tunes. . But this song has a poignancy that is special and heartfelt.

  7. S.... ....

    One of my favourite JT songs. Brilliantly constructed reflection on those exquisite opportunities lost - or were they?

  8. W.... R....

    such a beautifully done video, i never knew this songs had one... I'd be honored if some fans of JT's later compositions (late 80s & onward) would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of FROZEN MAN and NEVER DIE YOUNG on my YT channel in tribute to the master. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and peace.

  9. S.... ....

    This was always one of my favourite songs from this album, I had no idea there was a video for it!

    S.... ....

    I absolutely agree with you!. I didn't know there was a video of this song!!

  10. o.... ....

    Great classic from JT, and until YouTube, a hard to find video.

  11. l.... ....

    Was this shot on Martha’s Vineyard? I have only been there once but the scenes looked familiar.

    l.... ....

    It was!

  12. J.... G....

    Lindíssima sensualíssima enlouquente apaixonante romântica explosão de magia e bem estar 🌹🍀🍀🌷♥️⭐🌻👍

  13. L.... S....

    Split with my girl recently & this song went right through me.

  14. N.... W....

    You know, not that I am complaining or anything, but it really pisses me off that this track was not included on his greatest hits volume 2 album that was released around late 2000/early 2001. I am sure many of you fans out there agree with me, right?

    N.... W....

    Completely agree.

    N.... W....

    Get his whole collection and you will have no room for complaint. You never tire of this great artist.

    N.... W....

    Absolutely true!

    N.... W....

    It is on mine - not only did I add to the collection on my recorded disc, but I extended it.

  15. R.... F....

    Nice song. Love James Taylor. :)

    R.... F....

    no its not

    R.... F....

    Eu amo de mais todas as musicas desse cara ....como um dia eu gostaria de conhecer
