about

Billy Carl: Like many songwriters I have tapes and tapes of half written songs..mostly melodies without lyrics. Once in a great while I'll torture myself and play them back. Sometimes a melody or chord structure will hit me and I don't even remember writing it. This was the case with Somedays. Lyrically, I just wanted to convey the way I felt about not really being able to change the world or my friends or my wife. It all goes on with or without me. I can only change me. It also refers to conversations I've had with Ruby about being happy. If I think about it I'm not sure but if I don't think about it I might be. Oops..I'm thinking about it.


Ruby: What exactly do you mean by change my wife???


lyrics

Somedays
©Billy Carl Mancini (aka Bill Mason), Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

If I could make you happy
You know I would
If I could change the path we
Must take I would

Sleep tight--the world will turn and fires will burn
Dream like you’ll never to this earth return
Somedays you’ll wonder if you can get through
Somedays will be the kind you want them to….Somedays

Sunlight must turn to darkness
Rivers must flow
I want to be a fortress
And never know

Sleep tight--the world will turn and fires will burn
Dream like you’ll never to this earth return
Somedays you’ll wonder why the road is rough
Someday you’ll know my love will be enough….Somedays
