Songs About Coming

This is yet another entry in my ongoing "Opposites" music post series. Here's a bunch of great songs with the word "Coming" in their titles. Next time, it'll be a bunch of songs with "Going" in their titles. Enjoy!

BLOGGER'S NOTE:  I previously did an "Opposites" post featuring songs with the words "Come" and/or "Go" in their titles, but as I used exclusively those particular conjugations of the words, I did not at that time include any "Coming" or "Going" songs – and there are plenty of good ones. Thus, the follow-up post – albeit a couple of years later.  ~  JH
