[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."“
