[00:00.81] Cat's in the cradle--Celtic Thunder
[00:12.58] My child arrived just the other day
[00:15.32] came into the world in the usual day
[00:18.34] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
[00:21.83] He learned to walk while I was away
[00:25.09] he was talking before I knew it
[00:26.85] And as he grew he'd say
[00:28.89] "I'm gonna to be like you,dad,"“
[00:31.59] You know I'm gonna to be like you."“
[00:36.36] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon
[00:39.64] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[00:42.82] "When you coming home,dad?"“
[00:44.31] "I don't know when,“
[00:46.04] we'll get together then,son“
[00:49.12] You know we'll have a good time then."“
[01:01.30] My son turned ten just the other day
[01:04.14] He said,"Thanks for the ball,dad,come on,let's play
[01:07.62] teach me to throw?"“
[01:08.94] I said,"Not today,I've got a lot to do."
[01:11.54]
[01:13.93] well he walked away,but a smile never dimmed
[01:17.26] He said I'm gonna to be like him,yeah
[01:20.31] You know I'm gonna to be like him
[01:25.09] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon
[01:28.28] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[01:31.63] "When you coming home,dad?"“
[01:33.26] "I don't know when,“
[01:34.88] we'll get together then,son“
[01:37.86] You know we'll have a good time then."“
[01:49.88] Well,he came from college just the other day
[01:52.90] So much like a man,I just had to say,
[01:56.06] "Son,I'm proud of you,can you sit for a while?"“
[02:00.10] He shook his head and said with a smile
[02:02.63] "What I'd really like,Dad,is to borrow the car keys.“
[02:06.17] See you later,can I have them please?"“
[02:10.87] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon
[02:14.22] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[02:17.13] "When you coming home,son?"“
[02:19.58] "I don't know when,“
[02:20.65] we'll get together then,“
[02:23.53] You know we'll have a good time then."“
[02:42.79] I've long since retired,my son's moved away
[02:46.54] I called him up just the other day
[02:50.64] I said,"I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
[02:53.63] He said,"I'd love to,Dad,if I can fine the time.
[02:58.64] You see,my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,“
[03:02.00] it was sure nice talking to you,dad“
[03:05.08] its been sure nice talking to you."“
[03:09.94] And as I hung up the phone,it occurred to me,
[03:13.19] He'd grown up just like me
[03:16.35] My boy was just like me.
[03:21.20] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon
[03:24.40] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[03:27.64] "When you coming home,son?"“
[03:29.30] "I don't know when,“
[03:30.85] we'll get together then dad,“
[03:34.26] You know we'll have a good time then."“
