Are the expressions 'Come with me' and 'Come to me' synonymous?
The expression ‘Come with me’ is often included in songs and poems. Does it mean the same thing as ‘Come to me’? Take, for example, the refrain of Philippine concert king Martin Nievera’s love song ‘Come with Me Now.’
So won't you come with me now?
We can make it
Hand in hand.
We never will stray away
If we are together all the way.
Could the expression ‘Come to me’ be possibly used instead of ‘Come with me’?

Come to me is like saying Approach me or Come here (to me).
Come with me would be Accompany me (to some place).
This is how I understand it.
