Cat's in the Cradle

My child arrived just the other day

  • My child arrived just the other day
  • He came to the world in the usual way
  • But there were planes to catch bills to pay
  • He learned to walk while I was away
  • And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it and as he grew
  • He said "I'm gonna be like you"
  • "You know I'm gonna be like you"
  • And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
  • Little boy blue and the man on the moon
  • When you comin' home I don't know when
  • But we'll get together then
  • We're gonna 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've got a lot to do" he said "That's okay"
  • But he walked away and his smile never dimmed
  • He 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 silver spoon
  • Little boy blue and the man on the moon
  • When you comin' home I don't know when
  • But we'll get together then
  • We're gonna have a good time then
  • 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 just 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 silver spoon
  • Little boy blue and the man on the moon
  • When you comin' home I don't know when
  • But we'll get together then
  • We're gonna have a good time then
  • I've long since retired my son's 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"
  • "But my new job's 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
  • He'd grown up just like me
  • My boy was just like me
  • And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
  • Little boy blue and the man on the moon
  • When you comin' home I don't know when
  • But we'll get together then
  • We're gonna have a good time then
