Someday Never Comes Lyrics - Wrote A Song For Everyone - John Fogerty

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."
