Karen was reportedly never happy with her vocal perfomance of this poignant ballad, but a far greater problem with this track is the melodramatic orchestral arrangement, which at times threatens to swamp what is at heart a lovely composition. Karen later re-recorded a part of this song for a medley featured on the 1980 ABC-TV Special, "Music, Music, Music", which appears on "From The Top".


LYRICS:
Someday, rested from hours of sleeping
We'll stay safely behind what we're keeping
You'll seem warmer than I had remembered you
Lying so close I'll be able to feel you breathe
I could never leave

One day, when I am able to love you
I'll come back from wherever I've been to
I'll see you looking the same as you always have
Lovely, so lovely, I'll cling to the love you give
So I'll start to live

Someday is coming
If I believe it
Someday always brings the good life you knew ...
Ever back to you

How I need you
Someday, all I can give you is someday
Someday, all I can offer is someday
Please say that you'll be waiting when someday comes
Promise me this and a kiss, to keep what you are
Always close to me
