SOMEDAY NEVER COMES

First thing I remember was asking papa, why,

     B#		      G	             B#
For there were many things I didn't know.

                  F#	     G#m	    E
And daddy always smiled and took me by the hand,

	B#       F#	      B#
Saying, someday you'll understand.

(chorus:)	  F#			         B#
Well, I'm here to tell you now, each and every mother's son,

	         F#		             B#
That you better learn it fast, you better learn it young,

	       C#m  E         B#
'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,

sayin' someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here...

And still I see him standing tryin' to be a man,
