Someday Never Comes

First thing I remember was asking papa why

For there were many things I didn't know

And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand

Saying someday you'll understand.

(Chorus)

Well I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son

That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young

'Cause someday never comes.

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust

For there were many things I didn't know

When daddy went away he said "try to be a man"

And someday you'll understand.

(Chorus)

And then one day in April, I wasn't even there

For there were many things I didn't know

A son was born to me; mama held hid hand

Saying someday you'll understand.

(Chorus)

Think it was September, the year I went away

For there were many thing I didn't know

And still I see him standing trying to be a man

I said, someday you'll understand.

(Chorus)
