It’s one of those tracks that perfectly encapsulates the Statlers’ signature style—heartfelt lyrics paired with rich, harmony-laden melodies that feel both intimate and universally relatable.
The beauty of “You’ll Be Back” lies in its simplicity. The lyrics explore the haunting presence of a love that’s gone, yet still feels so close.

Lyrics
All my friends ask what can they do
To help me get over you,
But I’m not blue or broken in two
Why should I miss you?
‘Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams
You’ll be back and it won’t even seem like you’re gone
No I won’t be alone
‘Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams.
Walk the floor and cry until dawn,
Walk the floor and sit by the phone?
Oh no, not me
Why worry and moan just because you’re gone?
‘Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams
You’ll be back and it won’t even seem like you’re gone
No I won’t be alone
‘Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams.
‘Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams
You’ll be back and it won’t even seem like you’re gone
No I won’t be alone
‘Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams.
I’ll see you in my dreams, dreams, dreams
