[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."
