Someday I'll Know

Someday I'll Know

"Someday I'll Know" was originally a creative writing assignment given by my Honors English teacher, during my Senior year in High School. We were given the option of writing poetry, a short story, a song or sonnet, as it were. With sound reason and a broken heart as my muse, my pencil hit the paper immediately, infusing feelings of young love, hope and desire into what would be known, if only to me, as my second song.

At that point in my life, I was deeply enthralled in my first true heartbreak. It was the kind of romance movies were made of, but unlike most romantic movies, this story was not destined to have a perfect ending.

"Someday I'll Know" was written in between hopeful letters between long distance lovers.

This song has come to hold different meanings, for different moments in my life. One of the reasons I still play this song, is not only because my teacher encouraged me by giving me an A on my assignment, but because it continues to resonate in my heart. Someday I'll know, but for now, I'll continue to hope.

Someday I'll Know
by Brooke Mackintosh, 1996

One of these days, I'd like to know what you're thinkin'
One of these days, I'd like to know who you are
I wanna see your face shine every morning
I wanna know you'll be mine out in the stars

Someday I'll know
One day in time
Someday I'll know
When you are mine
And we've been together
Always forever
Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know

One of these days I'd like to give you my lovin'
And I think you wouldn't mind so much
I just want you to hold me close to your body
I just want you to know that I can be love

Someday I'll know
One day in time
Someday I'll know
When you are mine
And we've been together
Always forever
Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know

Every once in a while I'd like to be near you
Holidin' you close in my dreams just ain't enough

Someday I'll know
One day in time
Someday I'll know
When you are mine
And we've been together
Always forever
Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know
Someday I'll know
Someday
I'll know
