My child arrived just the other day |
| [00:14.91] |
He came to the world in the usual way |
| [00:18.27] |
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay |
| [00:21.60] |
He learned to walk while I was away |
| [00:24.62] |
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew |
| [00:27.64] |
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad |
| [00:31.11] |
You know I'm gonna be like you" |
| [00:35.69] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [00:39.13] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [00:42.29] |
When you comin' home, Dad |
| [00:43.85] |
I don't know when, but we'll get together then |
| [00:48.33] |
You know we'll have a good time then |
| [01:00.19] |
My son turned ten just the other day |
| [01:02.71] |
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play |
| [01:06.00] |
can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today |
| [01:08.71] |
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok" |
| [01:12.18] |
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed |
| [01:15.01] |
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah |
| [01:18.29] |
You know I'm gonna be like him" |
| [01:22.67] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [01:26.08] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [01:29.13] |
When you comin' home, Dad |
| [01:30.25] |
I don't know when, but we'll get together then |
| [01:34.94] |
You know we'll have a good time then |
| [01:46.30] |
Well, he came from college just the other day |
| [01:49.12] |
So much like a man I just had to say |
| [01:52.27] |
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while" “ |
| [01:55.12] |
He shook his head and said with a smile |
| [01:58.28] |
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys “ |
| [02:01.68] |
See you later, can I have them please" |
| [02:06.01] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [02:09.22] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [02:12.13] |
When you comin' home son |
| [02:13.58] |
I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad |
| [02:18.02] |
You know we'll have a good time then |
| [02:36.41] |
I've long since retired, my son's moved away |
| [02:39.62] |
I called him up just the other day |
| [02:43.43] |
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind" |
| [02:46.43] |
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time |
| [02:50.91] |
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu |
| [02:54.18] |
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad |
| [02:57.09] |
It's been sure nice talking to you" |
| [03:01.53] |
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me |
| [03:04.88] |
He'd grown up just like me |
| [03:07.87] |
My boy was just like me |
| [03:12.35] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [03:15.79] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
| [03:18.81] |
When you comin' home son |
| [03:20.06] |
I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad |
| [03:24.96] |
We're gonna have a good time then |
