Cat's in the Cradle - Jen Chapin[00:00:00]

My child arrived just the other day[00:00:09]

He came to the world in the usual way[00:00:12]

But there were planes to catch bills to pay[00:00:15]

He learned to walk while I was away[00:00:19]

And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it and as he grew[00:00:22]

He said "I'm gonna be like you"[00:00:26]

"You know I'm gonna be like you"[00:00:29]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:00:35]

Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:00:38]

When you comin' home I don't know when[00:00:42]

But we'll get together then[00:00:45]

We're gonna have a good time then[00:00:49]

My son turned ten just the other day[00:00:56]

He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play"[00:00:59]

"Can you teach me to throw" I said "Not today"[00:01:02]

"I've got a lot to do" he said "That's okay"[00:01:06]

But he walked away and his smile never dimmed[00:01:09]

He said "I'm gonna be like him yeah"[00:01:13]

"You know I'm gonna be like him"[00:01:17]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:01:22]

Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:01:25]

When you comin' home I don't know when[00:01:29]

But we'll get together then[00:01:32]

We're gonna have a good time then[00:01:35]

He came home from college just the other day[00:01:43]

So much like a man I just had to say[00:01:46]

"Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while "[00:01:49]

He shook his head and just said with a smile[00:01:53]

"What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys"[00:01:56]

See you later can I have them please "[00:02:00]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:02:05]

Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:02:08]

When you comin' home I don't know when[00:02:12]

But we'll get together then[00:02:15]

We're gonna have a good time then[00:02:19]

I've long since retired my son's moved away[00:02:41]

I called him up just the other day[00:02:45]

"I'd like to see you if you don't mind"[00:02:50]

He said "I'd love to Dad if I could find the time"[00:02:53]

"But my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu"[00:02:59]

"But it's sure nice talking to you Dad"[00:03:02]

"It's been sure nice talking to you"[00:03:06]

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me[00:03:11]

He'd grown up just like me[00:03:14]

My boy was just like me[00:03:18]

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:03:23]

Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:03:27]

When you comin' home I don't know when[00:03:30]

But we'll get together then[00:03:34]

We're gonna have a good time then[00:03:38]
