First thing |
|
I remember was askin' papa, "Why?", |
|
For there were many things |
|
I didn't know. |
|
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand, |
|
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand." [CHORUS:] |
|
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son |
|
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 his hand, Sayin' " |
|
Someday you'll understand." [CHORUS] Think it was September, the year I went away, For there were many things I didn't know. And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man; I said, " |
|
Someday you'll understand." [CHORUS] |
