[00:09.11]	My child arrived just the other day;
[00:12.72]	He came to the world in the usual day,
[00:16.89]	But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
[00:20.65]	He learned to walk while I was away.
[00:24.49]	And he was talking before I knew it,
[00:28.05]	And as he grew he'd say:
[00:30.40]	"I'm going to be like you,dad,
[00:34.05]	You know I'm going to be like you."
[00:37.38]	And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[00:41.38]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[00:44.75]	"When you coming home,dad?"
[00:47.16]	"I don't know when,
[00:49.25]	But we'll get together then,
[00:52.95]	You know we'll have a good time then."
[01:01.37]	My son turned ten just the other day.
[01:05.15]	He said,"Thanks for the ball,dad,come on,let's play.
[01:09.68]	Can you teach me to throw?"
[01:12.18]	I said,"Not today,I've got a lot to do."
[01:16.14]	He said,"That's OK."
[01:18.42]	And he walked away,but his smile never dimmed;
[01:22.37]	He said I'm going to be like him,yeah.
[01:26.15]	You know I'm going to be like him.
[01:29.35]	And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[01:33.45]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[01:36.93]	"When you coming home,dad?"
[01:39.29]	"I don't know when,
[01:41.36]	But we'll get together then,
[01:45.03]	You know we'll have a good time then."
[01:53.60]	Well,he came from college just the other day,
[01:57.34]	So much like a man,I just had to say,
[02:01.62]	"Son,I'm proud of you,can you sit for a while?"
[02:05.90]	He shook his head and said with a smile,
[02:09.65]	"What I'd really like,Dad,is to borrow the car keys.
[02:13.91]	See you later,can I have them please?"
[02:17.40]	And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[02:21.49]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[02:24.96]	"When you coming home,son?"
[02:27.42]	"I don't know when,
[02:29.54]	But we'll get together then,
[02:33.15]	You know we'll have a good time then."
[02:41.87]	I've long since retired,my son's moved away
[02:45.92]	I called him up just the other day.
[02:50.04]	I said,"I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
[02:53.94]	He said,"I'd love to,Dad,if I can fine the time.
[02:58.26]	You see,my new job's a worry and the kids have the flu,
[03:02.39]	But it's sure nice talking to you,dad.
[03:05.42]	It's sure been nice talking to you."
[03:08.97]	And as I hung up the phone,it occurred to me,
[03:12.98]	He'd grown up just like me
[03:16.89]	My boy was just like me.
[03:20.15]	And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[03:24.23]	Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:27.69]	"When you coming home,son?"
[03:30.12]	"I don't know when,
[03:32.22]	But we'll get together then,
[03:35.88]	You know we'll have a good time then."
