Ooo,
Woo-ooo,

Ooo,

Someday (Uh huh) we’ll be together
We’ll be together
Yeah,

You’re far away
From me my love (My baby)
And just as sure my, my baby
As there are stars above
I wanna say, wanna say, wanna say

Someday (Someday!) we’ll be together
(We’ll be, we’ll be together, yeah)
Someday (Someday!) we’ll be together
(We’ll be together, oh yeah)

My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the stars (Oo, oo, oo)
You, you, you posses my soul now honey (Possess my soul now honey)
And I know, I know you own my heart
And I wanna say

Someday (Someday!) we’ll be together
(We’re gonna be together, be together, baby!)
(Someday)
We’ll be together (We’ll be together, oh!)

Long time ago
My, my sweet thing
I made a big mistake, honey
I say I said goodbye

Oh, oh baby

Ever, (Ever) ever, ever, ever, and ever (Ever)
Ever since that day (Every since that day)
(All I wanna do)
Now, now all I, all I wanna do is
(All I wanna do is)
Oh is cry, (Cry) cry, (Cry) ([with the Choir:] cry!)

Hey,
I long for you (Oh, baby) every, every night
Woo, just to kiss your sweet, sweet lips,
Baby,
(Kiss your sweet lips)
Hold you ever, ever so tight
(And I wanna say)
And I wanna say

Someday (Oh!) (We’ll be together)
(Yeah!)
Someday (Someday)
We’ll be together (Oh we’ll be together, yes we will!)
Someday (Someday) we’ll be together (Oooh, oh, oh, oh, no!)

Someday, we’ll be together!
