Some Day 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.



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.

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.

someday never comes

Mmmm-mmmm-mmmm....
