[00:11.921]My child arrived just the other day
[00:15.074]came to the world in the usual way
[00:18.162]But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
[00:22.007]He learned to walk while I was away,
[00:24.622]and he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, he said:
[00:28.011]I'm gonna be like you, dad,
[00:31.288]You know I'm gonna be like you
[00:35.608]And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon
[00:39.082]Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[00:42.257]When you coming home, dad, I don't know when
[00:45.265]But we'll get together then,
[00:48.253]You know we'll have a good time then.
[00:59.591]My son turned ten just the other day, he said
[01:03.212]Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play
[01:06.141]teach me to throw, I said not today,
[01:08.964]I got a lot to do, he said that's okay
[01:12.085]And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, he said
[01:15.645]I'm gonna be like him, yeah
[01:18.405]You know I'm gonna be like him.
[01:22.712]And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon
[01:25.941]Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[01:29.184]When you coming home, dad, I don't know when
[01:31.896]But we'll get together then,
[01:35.099]You know we'll have a good time then.
[01:46.398]Well, he came from college just the other day
[01:49.321]So much like a man, I just had to say
[01:52.461]Son I'm proud of you, can ya sit for a while?
[01:55.406]He shook his head and said with a smile
[01:58.360]What I'd really like, dad, is borrow the car keys
[02:02.098]See ya later, can I have them please?
[02:05.894]And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon
[02:09.082]Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[02:12.172]When you coming home, son, I don't know when
[02:15.132]But we'll get together then, dad
[02:18.018]You know we'll have a good time then.
[02:36.206]I've long since retired, my sons moved away
[02:39.649]I called him up just the other day.
[02:43.395]I said, I'd like to see you, if you don't mind, he said
[02:46.818]I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time.
[02:50.859]You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
[02:53.876]But it's sure nice talking to you, dad
[02:57.057]It's been sure nice talking to you.
[03:01.232]And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
[03:04.684]He'd grown up just like me,
[03:07.840]My boy was just like me.
[03:12.317]And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon
[03:15.784]Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[03:18.896]When you coming home, son, I don't know when
[03:21.851]But we'll get together then, dad
[03:24.954]You know we'll have a good time then.
