Cats In The Cradle

歌詞

My child arrived just the other day Came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away He was talking fore I knew it And as he grew he said I'm gonna be like you dad You know I'm gonna be like you And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man n the moon When you coming home Son I don't know when well get together then You know well have a good time then Well my son turned ten just the other day He said thanks for the ball dad come on lets play Could you teach me to throw I said not today I got a lot to do He said that's okay and he walked away and he smiled and he said You know I'm gonna be like him yeah You know I'm gonna be like him And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man n the moon When you coming home Son I don't know when well get together then You know well have a good time then Well he came from college just the other day So much like a man I just had to say I'm proud of you could you sit for a while He shook his head and he said with a smile What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys See you later can I have them please And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man n the moon When you coming home Son I don't know when well get together then You know well have a good time then I've long since retired my sons moved away I called him up just the other day I'd like to see you if you don't mind He said I'd love to dad if I could find the time You see my new jobs a hassle and the kids have the flu But it's sure nice talking to you dad It's been sure nice talking to you And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me Hed grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man n the moon When you coming home Son I don't know when well get together then You know well have a good time then And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man n the moon When you coming home Son I don't know when well get together then You know well have a good time then
