Songtext:
First thing i remember was askin' papa, "why?", Screendesign Bonn 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."
