[00:12]	My child arrived just the other day;
[00:15]	came to the world in the usually way
[00:18]	but there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
[00:22]	He learned to walk while I was away.
[00:24]	He was talking before I knew it.
[00:26]	And as he grew he said'
[00:28]	"I'm gonna be like you' Dad.
[00:31]	You know I'm gonna be like you."
[00:35]	And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[00:39]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[00:42]	"When you coming home?"
[00:43]	"Son' I don't know when.
[00:45]	We'll get together then.
[00:48]	You know we'll have a good time then."
[00:58]	Well' my son turned ten just the other day.
[01:01]	He said' "Thanks for the ball' Dad. Come on' let's play.
[01:04]	Could you teach me to throw?" I said' "Not today.
[01:08]	I got a lot to do." He said' "That's okay."
[01:11]	And he walked away and he smiled he said'
[01:14]	"You know'
[01:15]	I'm gonna be like him' yeah.
[01:17]	You know I'm gonna be like him."
[01:22]	And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[01:25]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[01:28]	"When you coming home?"
[01:30]	"Son' I don't know when.
[01:32]	We'll get together then.
[01:34]	You know we'll have a good time then."
[01:46]	Well' he came from college just the other day'
[01:49]	So much like a man I just had to say'
[01:53]	"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?"
[01:56]	He shook his head and he said with a smile'
[01:59]	"What I'd really like' Dad' is to borrow the car keys.
[02:02]	See you later. Can I have them please?"
[02:07]	And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[02:10]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[02:13]	"When you coming home?"
[02:15]	"Son' I don't know when.
[02:17]	We'll get together then.
[02:19]	You know we'll have a good time then."
[02:38]	I've long since retired' my son's moved away.
[02:41]	I called him up just the other day.
[02:46]	"I'd like to see you' if you don't mind."
[02:49]	He said' "I'd love to' Dad' if I could find the time.
[02:49]	He said' "I'd love to' Dad' if I could find the time.
[02:53]	You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu'
[02:57]	But it's sure nice talking to you' Dad.
[03:00]	It's been sure nice talking to you."
[03:05]	And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me'
[03:08]	He'd grown up just like me.
[03:11]	My boy was just like me.
[03:15]	（Yeah' yeah' yeah）
[03:16]	And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[03:19]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:22]	"When you coming home?"
[03:23]	"Son' I don't know when.
[03:26]	We'll get together then.
[03:29]	You know we'll have a good time then."
[03:33]	And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[03:36]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:39]	"When you coming home?"
[03:41]	"Son' I don't know when.
[03:43]	We'll get together then.
[03:45]	You know we'll have a good time then."
