Someday Never Comes by 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."

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

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....
