I'll Be Back Someday

Neil Diamond · Other Songs - Neil Diamond

Goodbye, it's time for me to go

So, baby, don't cry

I want you to know that, baby

I'll be back someday

Cheer up,

The skies above are bound to clear up

I like to stick around, but baby,

I'll be back someday.

Don't be blue, I'll return with love untold

When I do, I want you to have and hold

I know that you'll be close to me

Wherever I go,

So, when I say goodbye, remember

I'll be back someday.
