TGIF - "Come Into My Life" - Joyce Sims

This is the first full weekend of Summer - I hope someone full of love comes into your life, wherever you are.

Come into My Life, from 1987, was the debut album of singer-songwriter Joyce Sims. It was the first Sleeping Bag Records album to be released on compact disc in the USA, and it was licensed to London/PolyGram Records throughout Europe. The album contains the full versions of the title track, the hard version of “Lifetime Love,” and “(You are My) All and All.” However, for unknown reasons, the soft version of “Lifetime Love,” despite getting as much radio airplay as the hard version, was not included—but the UK remix of “All and All” was included. Joyce Sims wrote all of the songs except for “Love Makes a Woman,” a cover version of an older song. Singles released were “All and All,” the title track (which peaked at #10 on the Billboard R&B chart), “Lifetime Love,” “It Wasn’t Easy,” and “Walk Away,” the latter of which was released with remixes by Clivillés & Cole.


Come Into My Life
By: Joyce Sims
Come into my life, I got so much love to show you
Come into my life, boy I adore you
Come into my life, I got so much love to show you
Come into my life, boy I adore you

Come into my life, I'll open the door
If you come into my life, boy I adore you
And I will treat you right
And I'll show you sweet mellow days that you want and need
For you hold the keys to my life
Good times will flow if you make our love strong and tight
Together as one not two, we'll shine like diamond ice, uh
And I'll show you sweet mellow days that you want and need

Because I can brighten up your days
And when you're feeling bad I'll put a smile on your face
Can you tell me what price must I pay
To make you see things my way
Don't wait, don't wait, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Come into my life, I got so much love to show you
Come into my life, boy I adore you
Come into my life, I got so much love to show you
Come into my life, boy I adore you

For you hold the keys to my life
Good times will flow if you make our love strong and tight
Together as one not two, we'll shine like diamond ice, uh
And I'll show you sweet mellow days that you want and need

Because I can brighten up your days
And when you're feeling bad I'll put a smile on your face, hey hey
Can you tell me what price must I pay
To make you see things my way
Don't wait, don't wait
Come to my life, coming down for me

Come into my life, I got so much love to show you
Come into my life, boy I adore you
Come into my life, I got so much love to show you
Come into my life, boy I adore you
