Cats 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 day
- But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
- He learned to walk while I was away
- And he was talking before I knew it
- And as he grew he'd say
- I'm going to be like you dad
- You know I'm going to be like you
- And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon
- Little boy blue and the man in the moon
- When you coming home dad
- I don't know when
- But we'll get together then
- 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've got a lot to do
- He said That's OK
- And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
- He said I'm going to be like him yeah
- You know I'm going to be like him
- And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon
- Little boy blue and the man in the moon
- When you coming home dad
- I don't know when
- But we'll get together then
- You know we'll have a good time then
- Well he came 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 crader and the silver spoon
- Little boy blue and the man in the moon
- When you coming home son
- I don't know when
- But we'll get together then
- 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 fine the time
- You see my new job's a worry and the kids have the flu
- But it's sure nice talking to you dad
- It's sure been 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 crader and the silver spoon
- Little boy blue and the man in the moon
- When you coming home son
- I don't know when
- But we'll get together then
- You know we'll have a good time then
Let's listen to my solo!
