The Supremes - Bill, When Are You Coming Back lyrics
[The Supremes - Bill, When Are You Coming Back lyrics]
Every morning waitin' 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 strangers 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 kiss 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
Tryin' to give each other hope
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
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 loved 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
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
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 strangers 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 kiss 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
Tryin' to give each other hope
Oh, wherever you are you know you need it too
'Cause no one in this world

Standing there by the railroad tracks oh

I cried in a stranger's arms standing
There by the railroad tracks oh, yes I did
