My child arrived just the other day
He 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
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and
as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silv
er spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get togethe
r then son
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come
on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not
today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never d
immed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silv
er spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get togethe
r then son
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the
other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for
a while?"
He shook his head and 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 cat's in the cradle and the silv
er spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get togethe
r then son
You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved
away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don'
t mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can fin
d the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids h
ave 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 t
o me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silv
er spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get togethe
r then son
You know we'll have a good time then
