Someday Never Comes
Composer(s): John Fogerty
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival; Brandi Carlile; Gerald Collier
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
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
Well, I'm here...
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
saying someday you'll understand
Well, I'm here...
Think it was September, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn't know
And still I see him standing trying to be a man
I said, someday you'll understand
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
