My child arrived just the other day |
| [00:15.68] |
came to the world in the usual way |
| [00:18.74] |
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay |
| [00:22.15] |
He learned to walk while I was away, |
| [00:25.12] |
and he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, |
| [00:27.24] |
he said:I'm gonna be like you, dad, |
| [00:31.14] |
You know I'm gonna be like you |
| [00:36.05] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [00:39.13] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [00:42.14] |
When you coming home, dad, I don't know when |
| [00:46.26] |
But we'll get together then, |
| [00:49.02] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [00:59.03] |
My son turned ten just the other day, he said |
| [01:02.23] |
Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play |
| [01:05.28] |
teach me to throw, I said not today, |
| [01:08.18] |
I got a lot to do, he said that's okay |
| [01:12.05] |
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, he said |
| [01:15.30] |
I'm gonna be like him, yeah |
| [01:18.04] |
You know I'm gonna be like him. |
| [01:22.80] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [01:25.81] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [01:29.06] |
When you coming home, dad, I don't know when |
| [01:32.57] |
But we'll get together then, |
| [01:35.57] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [01:47.34] |
Well, he came from college just the other day |
| [01:50.20] |
So much like a man, I just had to say |
| [01:53.71] |
Son I'm proud of you, can ya sit for a while? |
| [01:56.97] |
He shook his head and said with a smile |
| [02:00.23] |
What I'd really like, dad, is borrow the car keys |
| [02:03.22] |
See ya later, can I have them please? |
| [02:07.73] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [02:10.98] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [02:14.23] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
| [02:17.48] |
But we'll get together then,dad |
| [02:20.48] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [02:39.51] |
I've long since retired, my sons moved away |
| [02:42.35] |
I called him up just the other day. |
| [02:47.36] |
I said, I'd like to see you, if you don't mind, he said |
| [02:50.40] |
I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time. |
| [02:55.15] |
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu |
| [02:58.14] |
But it's sure nice talking to you, dad |
| [03:01.15] |
It's been sure nice talking to you. |
| [03:05.90] |
And as I hung up the phone it occured to me, |
| [03:09.15] |
He'd grown up just like me, |
| [03:12.67] |
My boy was just like me. |
| [03:17.43] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [03:20.19] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [03:23.68] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
| [03:26.94] |
But we'll get together then, dad |
| [03:29.94] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [03:34.45] |
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon |
| [03:37.71] |
Little boy blue and the man on the moon |
| [03:40.96] |
When you coming home, son, I don't know when |
| [03:44.22] |
But we'll get together then, dad |
| [03:47.22] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
