My child arrived just the other day |
| [00:16.20] |
He came to the world in the usual way |
| [00:18.99] |
But there were planes to catch, bills to pay |
| [00:23.19] |
He learned to walk while I was away |
| [00:25.29] |
And he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew |
| [00:28.29] |
He said, "I'm gonna be like you, dad |
| [00:31.62] |
You know, I'm gonna be like you" |
| [00:36.03] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [00:39.51] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
| [00:42.48] |
When you comin' home? I don't know when |
| [00:45.60] |
We'll get together then, son |
| [00:48.54] |
You know, we'll have a good time then |
| [01:01.14] |
My child turned ten, the other day |
| [01:02.70] |
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play |
| [01:05.79] |
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today |
| [01:08.82] |
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's okay" |
| [01:12.12] |
He turned away but his smile never dimmed |
| [01:14.85] |
"I'm gonna be like him", he said |
| [01:17.79] |
"Yes, I'm going to be like him" |
| [01:22.68] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [01:26.04] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
| [01:29.01] |
When you comin' home? I don't know when |
| [01:32.28] |
We'll get together then, son |
| [01:34.95] |
You know, we'll have a good time then |
| [01:46.35] |
When he came from college, the other day |
| [01:49.14] |
So much like a man I just had to say |
| [01:52.17] |
"I'm proud of you, son, will you sit for a while?" |
| [01:56.04] |
He shook his head and he said with a smile |
| [01:58.50] |
"What I'd really like to do is to borrow the car keys |
| [02:02.19] |
I'll see you later, can I have them please?" |
| [02:06.09] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [02:09.45] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
| [02:12.51] |
When you comin' home? I don't know when |
| [02:15.57] |
We'll get together then, son |
| [02:18.60] |
You know, we'll have a good time then |
| [02:36.57] |
Well, I've long since retired, my child moved away |
| [02:40.47] |
I called him up just the other day |
| [02:44.28] |
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" |
| [02:47.37] |
He said, "I'd love to, dad, if I could find the time" |
| [02:52.05] |
He said the new job's a hassle and the kid's got the flu |
| [02:55.77] |
But it's so nice talking to you, dad |
| [02:58.62] |
It's so nice talking to you |
| [03:02.79] |
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me |
| [03:07.53] |
My boy's a lot like me, my boy's a lot like me |
| [03:13.95] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [03:17.37] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
| [03:20.34] |
When you comin' home? I don't know when |
| [03:23.49] |
We'll get together then, son |
| [03:26.25] |
You know, we'll have a good time then |
| [03:29.43] |
We'll get together then, son |
| [03:32.28] |
You know, we'll have a good time then |
