Someday
I guess I always knew that someday
We would all grow older
And mom and dad would pass away.
I couldn't imagine how that could be-
how I could still be her
without them.
But someday came.
I guess I always knew that someday
when we were very old
and misfortune would come knocking
you or I would fall victim
like those who had gone before us.
I guess I always knew that someday...
But I never knew
that you'd slip away
bit by bit
leaving me here
alone, alone, alone.
I didn't know that someday
was already here.
