Supremes - Bill, When Are You Coming Back lyrics

rate me

(Pam Sawyer)

Every morning waiting for the mailman to come

But again he shook his head and said maybe tomorrow there'll be one

He said, better than a letter, some guys just arrived

I felt so much better that I ran to catch the 3:45

I got to the station, oh, just a little bit late

When I spotted a soldier turning through an exit gate

Oh, I pushed through the crowd until I reached his side

And got the strangest look from a stranger's eyes

I cried, Bill, Bill, Bill when are you coming back

I cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks

Oh, yes I did

The day you left me remains in my mind so clear

You were saying you loved me, but the train made it hard to hear

So, we moved by the Coke machine, oh, so we could say goodbye

The people were staring, but I couldn't keep the tears from my eyes

As the train departed, your loving mother held me close

We cried together, yeah, trying to keep each other host

Oh, wherever you are, you know you need it too

'Cause no one in this world needs you like I do

I cried, Bill, Bill, Bill when are you coming back

I cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks

Oh, yes I did

...standing there by the railroad tracks

Oh, yes I did

No news is good news; at least that's what your mama said

But, I could see in her eyes, she too, is so afraid

Now, I've got nothing to cling to except what I felt inside

When I cried I love you and looked into that stranger's eyes

Oh, I miss you, Bill.

I can't stand the pain of knowing if I'll ever see you again!

I cried, Bill, Bill, Bill when are you coming back

I cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks

Oh, yes I did

Billy, baby!!!! Billy, baby,when are you coming back

I cried in a stranger's arms standing there by the railroad tracks

Oh, yes I did
