Story behind the song
A story about a man who acts as if he is still free and single in his married World. He doesn't have enough time for his family over having enough time for himself. Then one day he grows up and realizes that his life is really right there in front of him.
Lyrics
WHEN WILL HE LEARN
V1:
His clothes are changed; he's headed out the door, goin' drinkin' with the guys.
She comes to him with a great big smile a sparkle in her eyes.
She says I've made changes in the baby's room so won't you come and see?
He said I can't right now, gotta get going, the guys are waiting for me.
CHORUS:
Is he blind? When will he learn life's not always about him?
Time slips away, gone is another day, another missed opportunity.
Life passes by and then he'll die and in the end what does he have?
Only memories of how he let her down as he tried to be her man.
When will he learn?
When will he learn?
V2:
She came into the living room where he sat to watch TV
Her eyes beaming with excitement; full of curiosity
She says 'Hey Daddy, I got this puzzle and it looks like fun
He said 'I can't right now, lookin' at the news maybe some other time hun.'
CHORUS:
Is he blind? When will he learn life's not always about him?
Time slips away, gone is another day, another missed opportunity.
Life passes by and then he'll die and in the end what does he have?
Only memories of how he let her down as he tried to be her dad.
When will he learn?
When will he learn?
BRIDGE:
She sits alone under the shady elm; in her own quiet place
He takes a seat next to her with a grin on his face
He touched her heart when he held her hand
She says, 'You're such a boy; but you'll always be my man'
CHORUS out:
Is he blind? When will he learn life's not always about him?
Time slips away, gone is another day, another missed opportunity.
Life passes by and then he'll die and in the end what does he have?
Only memories of how he let em' down as he tried to be around.
He says, 'I haven't been there for you but now I see'
Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?
He's finally learned!
He's finally learned!
