Lyrics:

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.'

chorus

mmmm-Mmmm-Mmmm....
