About Someday We'll Be Together

"Someday We'll Be Together" is a song written by Johnny Bristol, Jackey Beavers, and Harvey Fuqua. It was the last of twelve American number-one pop singles for Diana Ross & the Supremes on the Motown label. Although it was released as the final Supremes song featuring Diana Ross, who left the group for a solo career in January 1970, it was recorded as Ross' first solo single and Supremes members Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong do not sing on the recording. Both appear on the B-side, "He's My Sunny Boy". The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart for one week, in the final 1969 issue of Billboard magazine (dated December 27). It would be the last number one hit of the 1960s.

I know, I know, I know, I know
 
My love is yours, baby
Oh, right from the start
You, you, you possess my soul now honey
And I know, I know you won my heart.
And I wanna say someday (some sweet day) we'll be together.

Long time ago my, my sweet thing, I made a big mistake, honey.
I say, I said goodbye. 
Oh, Oh baby ever ever, ever, never, never since that day now, 
Now all I, all I wanna do ah is cry, cry,cry, cry

Ah, honey, honey
some day we'll be together.
Yes we will, yes we will
