[00:12.14] |
My child arrived just the other day |
[00:15.68] |
came to the world in the usual way |
[00:18.74] |
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay |
[00:22.15] |
He learned to walk while I was away, |
[00:25.12] |
and he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, |
[00:27.24] |
he said:I'm gonna be like you, dad, |
[00:31.14] |
You know I'm gonna be like you |
[00:36.05] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
[00:39.13] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
[00:42.14] |
When you coming home, dad, I don't know when |
[00:46.26] |
But we'll get together then, |
[00:49.02] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
[00:59.03] |
My son turned ten just the other day, he said |
[01:02.23] |
Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play |
[01:05.28] |
teach me to throw, I said not today, |
[01:08.18] |
I got a lot to do, he said that's okay |
[01:12.05] |
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, he said |
[01:15.30] |
I'm gonna be like him, yeah |
[01:18.04] |
You know I'm gonna be like him. |
[01:22.80] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
[01:25.81] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
[01:29.06] |
When you coming home, dad, I don't know when |
[01:32.57] |
But we'll get together then, |
[01:35.57] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
[01:47.34] |
Well, he came from college just the other day |
[01:50.20] |
So much like a man, I just had to say |
[01:53.71] |
Son I'm proud of you, can ya sit for a while? |
[01:56.97] |
He shook his head and said with a smile |
[02:00.23] |
What I'd really like, dad, is borrow the car keys |
[02:03.22] |
See ya later, can I have them please? |
[02:07.73] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
[02:10.98] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
[02:14.23] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
[02:17.48] |
But we'll get together then,dad |
[02:20.48] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
[02:39.51] |
I've long since retired, my sons moved away |
[02:42.35] |
I called him up just the other day. |
[02:47.36] |
I said, I'd like to see you, if you don't mind, he said |
[02:50.40] |
I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time. |
[02:55.15] |
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu |
[02:58.14] |
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad |
[03:01.15] |
It's been sure nice talking to you. |
[03:05.90] |
And as I hung up the phone it occured to me, |
[03:09.15] |
He'd grown up just like me, |
[03:12.67] |
My boy was just like me. |
[03:17.43] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
[03:20.19] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
[03:23.68] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
[03:26.94] |
But we'll get together then, dad |
[03:29.94] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
[03:34.45] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
[03:37.71] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
[03:40.96] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
[03:44.22] |
But we'll get together then, dad |
[03:47.22] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
