Cats In The Cradle[00:00:00]
Harry Chapin[00:00:05]
A child arrived just the other day[00:00:12]
He came to 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, and he was[00:00:22]
Talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, he said:[00:00:25]
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 on the moon[00:00:39]
When you comin' home, dad, I don't know when[00:00:42]
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, he said[00:01:01]
Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let's play[00:01:04]
Can you teach me to throw, I said not today,[00:01:07]
I got a lot to do, he said that's okay[00:01:09]
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, it said[00:01:12]
I'm gonna be like him, yeah[00:01:16]
You know I'm gonna be like him.[00:01:19]
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon[00:01:23]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:01:27]
When you comin' home, dad, I don't know when[00:01:30]
But we'll together then,[00:01:33]
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 ya sit for a while?[00:01:53]
He shook his head, and he said, with a smile[00:01:56]
What I'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys[00:01:59]
See ya later, can I have them please?[00:02:03]
And the cat's in the cradle, and the silver spoon[00:02:07]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:02:10]
When you comin' home, son, I don't know when[00:02:13]
But we'll get together then, dad[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, he said[00:02:45]
I'd love to, dad, if I can find the time.[00:02:48]
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids are the flu[00:02:52]
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, dad[00:02:55]
It's been sure nice talkin' to you.[00:02:58]
And as I hung up the phone it occured 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 cradle, and the silver spoon[00:03:14]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:03:17]
When you comin' home, son, I don't know when[00:03:20]
But we'll get together then, dad[00:03:23]
Were gonna have a good time then.[00:03:26]
Were gonna have a good time then.[00:03:26]
