My child arrived just the other day; |
| [00:15.000] |
came to the world in the usually way |
| [00:18.000] |
but there were planes to catch and bills to pay. |
| [00:22.000] |
He learned to walk while I was away. |
| [00:24.000] |
He was talking before I knew it. |
| [00:26.000] |
And as he grew he said, |
| [00:28.000] |
I'm gonna be like you, Dad. |
| [00:31.000] |
You know I'm gonna be like you. |
| [00:35.000] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, |
| [00:39.000] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [00:42.000] |
When you coming home? |
| [00:43.000] |
Son, I don't know when. |
| [00:45.000] |
We'll get together then. |
| [00:48.000] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [00:58.000] |
Well, my son turned ten just the other day. |
| [01:01.000] |
He said, Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. |
| [01:04.000] |
Could you teach me to throw? I said, Not today. |
| [01:08.000] |
I got a lot to do. He said, That's okay. |
| [01:11.000] |
And he walked away and he smiled he said, |
| [01:14.000] |
You know, |
| [01:15.000] |
I'm gonna be like him, yeah. |
| [01:17.000] |
You know I'm gonna be like him. |
| [01:22.000] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, |
| [01:25.000] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [01:28.000] |
When you coming home? |
| [01:30.000] |
Son, I don't know when. |
| [01:32.000] |
We'll get together then. |
| [01:34.000] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [01:46.000] |
Well, he came from college just the other day, |
| [01:49.000] |
So much like a man I just had to say, |
| [01:53.000] |
I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while? |
| [01:56.000] |
He shook his head and he said with a smile, |
| [01:59.000] |
What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys. |
| [02:02.000] |
See you later. Can I have them please? |
| [02:07.000] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, |
| [02:10.000] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [02:13.000] |
When you coming home? |
| [02:15.000] |
Son, I don't know when. |
| [02:17.000] |
We'll get together then. |
| [02:19.000] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [02:38.000] |
I've long since retired, my son's moved away. |
| [02:41.000] |
I called him up just the other day. |
| [02:46.000] |
I'd like to see you, if you don't mind. |
| [02:49.000] |
He said, I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. |
| [02:49.000] |
He said, I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. |
| [02:53.000] |
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, |
| [02:57.000] |
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad. |
| [03:00.000] |
It's been sure nice talking to you. |
| [03:05.000] |
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, |
| [03:08.000] |
He'd grown up just like me. |
| [03:11.000] |
My boy was just like me. |
| [03:15.000] |
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) |
| [03:16.000] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, |
| [03:19.000] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [03:22.000] |
When you coming home? |
| [03:23.000] |
Son, I don't know when. |
| [03:26.000] |
We'll get together then. |
| [03:29.000] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
| [03:33.000] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, |
| [03:36.000] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon. |
| [03:39.000] |
When you coming home? |
| [03:41.000] |
Son, I don't know when. |
| [03:43.000] |
We'll get together then. |
| [03:45.000] |
You know we'll have a good time then. |
