Cat`s In The Cradle Lyrics
A 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 said: I'm gonna be like you, dad, 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, son, I don't know
when But we'll have a good time then, dad 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 okay And he walked away but
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,
son, I don't know when But we'll have a good time 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 we
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 ya 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, son, I don't know
when But we'll have a good time then, dad 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 could find the time. You see my new job's
a hassle and the kids got the flu But it's been sure nice talkin' to you,
yeah Sure nice talkin' to you. And as I hung up the phone it occured to
me, He'd grown up just like me, yeah. 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, son, I don't know when But we'll
have a good time then, dad You know we'll have a good time then.
