歌词

[00:12.63] My child arrived just the other day;
[00:15.25] He came to the world in the usual day,
[00:18.51] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
[00:21.81] He learned to walk while I was away.
[00:25.00] And he was talking before I knew it,
[00:26.67] And as he grew he'd say:
[00:28.60] "I'm going to be like you,dad,
[00:31.75] You know I'm going to be like you."
[00:36.37] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[00:39.74] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[00:42.89] "When you coming home,dad?"
[00:44.89] "I don't know when,
[00:45.92] But we'll get together then,
[00:49.01] You know we'll have a good time then."
[00:51.65]
[01:01.04] My son turned ten just the other day.
[01:03.82] He said,"Thanks for the ball,dad,come on,let's play.
[01:07.04] Can you teach me to throw?"
[01:08.31] I said,"Not today,I've got a lot to do."
[01:11.34] He said,"That's OK."
[01:13.12] And he walked away,but his smile never dimmed;
[01:15.75] He said I'm going to be like him,yeah.
[01:19.37] You know I'm going to be like him.
[01:23.91] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[01:27.08] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[01:30.13] "When you coming home,dad?"
[01:31.60] "I don't know when,
[01:32.96] But we'll get together then,
[01:35.91] You know we'll have a good time then."
[01:38.58]
[01:47.14] Well,he came from college just the other day,
[01:50.60] So much like a man,I just had to say,
[01:53.57] "Son,I'm proud of you,can you sit for a while?"
[01:56.73] He shook his head and said with a smile,
[01:59.68] "What I'd really like,Dad,is to borrow the car keys.
[02:03.24] See you later,can I have them please?"
[02:07.33] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[02:10.50] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[02:13.50] "When you coming home,son?"
[02:15.08] "I don't know when,
[02:16.56] But we'll get together then,
[02:19.56] You know we'll have a good time then."
[02:22.60]
[02:37.83] I've long since retired,my son's moved away
[02:41.49] I called him up just the other day.
[02:44.46] I said,"I'd like to see you if you don't mind."
[02:48.12] He said,"I'd love to,Dad,if I can fine the time.
[02:52.70] You see,my new job's a worry and the kids have the flu,
[02:55.53] But it's sure nice talking to you,dad.
[02:58.67] It's sure been nice talking to you."
[03:03.40] And as I hung up the phone,it occurred to me,
[03:06.31] He'd grown up just like me
[03:09.69] My boy was just like me.
[03:14.31] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,
[03:17.59] Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:20.67] "When you coming home,son?"
[03:22.05] "I don't know when,
[03:23.80] But we'll get together then,
[03:26.85] You know we'll have a good time then."
[03:31.94]
