[00:12.434]My child arrived just the other day
[00:15.719]He came to the world in the usual way
[00:18.515]But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
[00:22.463]He learned to walk while I was away
[00:24.918]And he was talking before I knew it
[00:26.910]And as he grew he'd say
[00:28.592]I'm going to be like you Dad
[00:31.666]You know I'm going to be like you
[00:36.234]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
[00:39.786]Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[00:42.910]When you coming home Dad
[00:44.542]I don't know when
[00:45.986]But we'll get together then
[00:49.009]You know we'll have a good time then

[01:11.260]He said that's Ok
[01:12.991]And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
[01:15.984]He said I'm going to be like him yeah
[01:19.246]You know I'm going to be like him
[01:23.744]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
