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.`
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.`
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.`
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.`
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.`
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.`
