My child arrived just the other day; |
| [00:15] |
came to the world in the usually way |
| [00:18] |
but there were planes to catch and bills to pay. |
| [00:22] |
He learned to walk while I was away. |
| [00:24] |
He was talking before I knew it. |
| [00:26] |
And as he grew he said' |
| [00:28] |
"I'm gonna be like you' Dad. |
| [00:31] |
You know I'm gonna be like you." |
| [00:35] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon' |
| [00:39] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [00:42] |
"When you coming home?" |
| [00:43] |
"Son' I don't know when. |
| [00:45] |
We'll get together then. |
| [00:48] |
You know we'll have a good time then." |
| [00:58] |
Well' my son turned ten just the other day. |
| [01:01] |
He said' "Thanks for the ball' Dad. Come on' let's play. |
| [01:04] |
Could you teach me to throw?" I said' "Not today. |
| [01:08] |
I got a lot to do." He said' "That's okay." |
| [01:11] |
And he walked away and he smiled he said' |
| [01:14] |
"You know' |
| [01:15] |
I'm gonna be like him' yeah. |
| [01:17] |
You know I'm gonna be like him." |
| [01:22] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon' |
| [01:25] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [01:28] |
"When you coming home?" |
| [01:30] |
"Son' I don't know when. |
| [01:32] |
We'll get together then. |
| [01:34] |
You know we'll have a good time then." |
| [01:46] |
Well' he came from college just the other day' |
| [01:49] |
So much like a man I just had to say' |
| [01:53] |
"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?" |
| [01:56] |
He shook his head and he said with a smile' |
| [01:59] |
"What I'd really like' Dad' is to borrow the car keys. |
| [02:02] |
See you later. Can I have them please?" |
| [02:07] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon' |
| [02:10] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [02:13] |
"When you coming home?" |
| [02:15] |
"Son' I don't know when. |
| [02:17] |
We'll get together then. |
| [02:19] |
You know we'll have a good time then." |
| [02:38] |
I've long since retired' my son's moved away. |
| [02:41] |
I called him up just the other day. |
| [02:46] |
"I'd like to see you' if you don't mind." |
| [02:49] |
He said' "I'd love to' Dad' if I could find the time. |
| [02:49] |
He said' "I'd love to' Dad' if I could find the time. |
| [02:53] |
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu' |
| [02:57] |
But it's sure nice talking to you' Dad. |
| [03:00] |
It's been sure nice talking to you." |
| [03:05] |
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me' |
| [03:08] |
He'd grown up just like me. |
| [03:11] |
My boy was just like me. |
| [03:15] |
（Yeah' yeah' yeah） |
| [03:16] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon' |
| [03:19] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [03:22] |
"When you coming home?" |
| [03:23] |
"Son' I don't know when. |
| [03:26] |
We'll get together then. |
| [03:29] |
You know we'll have a good time then." |
| [03:33] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon' |
| [03:36] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [03:39] |
"When you coming home?" |
| [03:41] |
"Son' I don't know when. |
| [03:43] |
We'll get together then. |
| [03:45] |
You know we'll have a good time then." |
