Cats in the Cradle |
My child arrived just the other day |
He came to the world in the usual way |
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay |
He learned to walk while I was away |
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew |
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad" |
"You know I'm gonna be like you" |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
"When you coming home, dad?" |
"I don't know when" |
But we'll get together then |
You know we'll have a good time then |
My son turned ten just the other day |
He said, thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play |
Can you teach me to throw, I said, not today |
I got a lot to do, he said, that's okay |
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed |
It said, I'm gonna be like him, yeah |
You know I'm gonna be like him |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
"When you coming home, dad?" |
"I don't know when" |
But we'll get together then |
You know we'll have a good time then |
Well, he came from college just the other day |
So much like a man I just had to say |
Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while? |
He shook his head, and he said with a smile |
What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys |
See you later, can I have them please? |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
"When you coming home, son?" |
"I don't know when" |
But we'll get together then, dad |
You know we'll have a good time then |
I've long since retired and my son's moved away |
I called him up just the other day |
I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind |
He said, I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time |
You see, my new job's a hassle, and the kids have the flu |
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad |
It's been sure nice talking to you |
And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me |
He'd grown up just like me |
My boy was just like me |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
"When you coming home, son?" |
"I don't know when" |
But we'll get together then, dad |
We're gonna have a good time then |
