Someday Never Comes - Creedence Clearwater Revival

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.»

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.»

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.»

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.»
