Cat's 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 |
