My child arrived just the other day |
| [00:14.99] |
Came to the world in the usual way |
| [00:18.12] |
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay |
| [00:22.11] |
He learned to walk while I was away |
| [00:24.72] |
He was talkin fore I knew it,and as he grew |
| [00:27.72] |
Hed say "Im gonna be like you dad |
| [00:31.33] |
You know Im gonna be like you" |
| [00:35.67] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [00:39.52] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [00:42.62] |

| [01:13.52] |
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed |
| [01:16.67] |
And said,"Im gonna be like him,yeah |
| [01:20.02] |
You know Im gonna be like him" |
| [01:24.55] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [01:28.11] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [01:31.55] |

| [01:49.54] |
Well,he came home from college just the other day |
| [01:52.64] |
So much like a man I just had to say |
| [01:55.64] |
"Son,Im proud of you,can you sit for a while?" |
| [01:59.67] |
He shook his head and said with a smile |
| [02:02.07] |
"What Id really like,Dad,is to borrow the car keys |
| [02:06.04] |
See you later,can I have them please?" |
| [02:10.31] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [02:13.71] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [02:16.96] |
When you comin home son? |
| [02:18.39] |
I dont know when,but well get together dad |
| [02:23.26] |
You know well have a good time then |
| [02:42.36] |
I've long since retired,my sons moved away |
| [02:45.92] |
I called him up just the other day |
| [02:50.24] |
I said,"Id like to see you if you dont mind" |
| [02:53.40] |
He said,"Id love to,Dad,if I can find the time |
| [02:58.22] |

| [03:01.47] |
But its sure nice talking to you,Dad |
| [03:04.83] |

| [03:15.89] |
My boy was just like me |
| [03:20.77] |
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [03:24.13] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [03:27.53] |
