Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
My child arrived just the other day[00:00:12]
He came to the world in the day usual[00:00:15]
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay[00:00:18]
He learned to walk while I was away[00:00:22]
And he was talking before I knew it[00:00:25]
And as he grew he'd say[00:00:26]
I'm going to be like you Dad[00:00:28]
You know I'm going to be like you[00:00:31]
And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon[00:00:36]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:00:39]
When you coming home Dad[00:00:42]
I don't know when[00:00:44]
But we'll get together then[00:00:45]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:00:49]
My son turned ten just the other day[00:01:01]
He said thanks for the ball dad come on let's play[00:01:03]
Can you teach me to throw[00:01:06]
I today I've said not got a lot to do[00:01:08]
He said that's Ok[00:01:11]
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed[00:01:13]
He said I'm going to be like him yeah[00:01:16]
You know I'm going to be like him[00:01:19]
And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon[00:01:23]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:01:26]
When you coming home Dad[00:01:30]
I don't know when[00:01:31]
But we'll get together then[00:01:32]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:01:36]
Well he came from college just the other day[00:01:47]
So much like a man I just had to say[00:01:50]
Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while[00:01:53]
He shook his head and said with a smile[00:01:56]
What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys[00:01:59]
See you later can I have them please[00:02:03]
And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon[00:02:06]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:02:10]
When you coming home son[00:02:13]
I don't know when[00:02:15]
But we'll get together then[00:02:16]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:02:19]
I've long since retired my son's moved away[00:02:37]
I called him up just the other day[00:02:41]
I said I'd like to see you if you don't mind[00:02:45]
He said I'd love to Dad if I can fine the time[00:02:47]
You see my new job's a worry and the kids have the flu[00:02:52]
But it's sure nice talking to you Dad[00:02:55]
It's sure been nice talking to you[00:02:58]
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me[00:03:03]
He'd grown up just like me[00:03:06]
My boy was just like me[00:03:09]
And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon[00:03:14]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:03:17]
When you coming home son[00:03:20]
I don't know when[00:03:22]
But we'll get together then[00:03:23]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:03:26]
