The Supremes — Bill When Are You Coming Back

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] Oh, I miss you, Bill I can't stand the pain of knowing if I'll ever see you again! [Chorus] 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
