My child arrived just the other day |
| [00:15.67] |
came to the world in the usual way |
| [00:18.49] |
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay |
| [00:22.06] |
He learned to walk while I was away, |
| [00:25.10] |
and he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, he said: |
| [00:28.51] |
I'm gonna be like you, dad, |
| [00:31.64] |
You know I'm gonna be like you |
| [00:36.31] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [00:39.56] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [00:42.68] |
When you coming home, dad, I don't know when |
| [00:45.73] |
But we'll get together then, |
| [00:48.94] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [01:00.82] |
My son turned ten just the other day, he said |
| [01:03.69] |
Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play |
| [01:07.00] |
teach me to throw, I said not today, |
| [01:09.67] |
I got a lot to do, he said that's okay |
| [01:12.87] |
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, he said |
| [01:16.41] |
I'm gonna be like him, yeah |
| [01:19.06] |
You know I'm gonna be like him. |
| [01:23.59] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [01:26.85] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [01:29.81] |
When you coming home, dad, I don't know when |
| [01:32.88] |
But we'll get together then, |
| [01:37.81] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [01:47.29] |
Well, he came from college just the other day |
| [01:50.20] |
So much like a man, I just had to say |
| [01:53.41] |
Son I'm proud of you, can ya sit for a while? |
| [01:56.40] |
He shook his head and said with a smile |
| [01:59.30] |
What I'd really like, dad, is borrow the car keys |
| [02:02.77] |
See ya later, can I have them please? |
| [02:07.09] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [02:09.78] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [02:12.89] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
| [02:16.39] |
But we'll get together then,dad |
| [02:19.16] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [02:37.28] |
I've long since retired, my sons moved away |
| [02:41.55] |
I called him up just the other day. |
| [02:44.46] |
I said, I'd like to see you, if you don't mind, he said |
| [02:47.72] |
I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time. |
| [02:52.04] |
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu |
| [02:55.09] |
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad |
| [02:58.21] |
It's been sure nice talking to you. |
| [03:02.66] |
And as I hung up the phone it occured to me, |
| [03:05.97] |
He'd grown up just like me, |
| [03:09.03] |
My boy was just like me. |
| [03:13.53] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [03:17.40] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [03:20.20] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
| [03:23.63] |
But we'll get together then, dad |
| [03:26.22] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
