Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Ray Conniff (雷康·尼夫)[00:00:00]
My child arrived just the other day[00:00:12]
Came into the world in the usual way[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 talkin' 'fore I knew it[00:00:25]
And as he grew[00:00:27]
He'd say I'm gonna be like you dad[00:00:28]
You know I'm gonna be like you[00:00:31]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:00:36]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:00:39]
When you comin' home dad[00:00:43]
I don't know when[00:00:45]
But we'll get together then[00:00:46]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:00:49]
My son turned ten just the other day[00:01:02]
He said thanks for the ball[00:01:05]
Dad come on let's play[00:01:06]
Can you teach me to throw[00:01:08]
I said not today[00:01:09]
I got a lot to do he said that's ok[00:01:11]
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed[00:01:14]
And said I'm gonna be like him yeah[00:01:17]
You know I'm gonna be like him[00:01:21]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:01:26]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:01:29]
When you comin' home dad[00:01:32]
I don't know when but we'll get together then[00:01:34]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:01:39]
Well he came from college just the other day[00:01:51]
So much like a man I just had to say[00:01:54]
Son I'm proud of you[00:01:57]
Can you sit for a while[00:01:59]
He shook his head and he said with a smile[00:02:00]
What I'd really like[00:02:04]
Dad is to borrow the car keys[00:02:05]
See you later can I have them please[00:02:07]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:02:11]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:02:15]
When you comin' home son[00:02:18]
I don't know when[00:02:20]
But we'll get together then[00:02:21]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:02:25]
La la la la la[00:02:28]
I've long since retired[00:02:37]
My son's moved away[00:02:39]
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[00:02:48]
If I can find the time[00:02:50]
You see my new job's a hassle[00:02:53]
And the kids have the flu[00:02:54]
But it's sure nice talking to you dad[00:02:56]
It's been sure nice talking to you[00:02:59]
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me[00:03:04]
He'd grown up just like me[00:03:08]
My boy was just like me[00:03:11]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:03:15]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:03:19]
When you comin' home son[00:03:22]
I don't know when[00:03:23]
But we'll get together then dad[00:03:25]
We'll gonna have a good time then[00:03:28]
La la laa la laa[00:03:32]
