Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
My child arrived just the other day;[00:00:12]
He came to the world in the usual day,[00:00:15]
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,[00:00:18]
He learned to walk while I was away.[00:00:21]
And he was talking before I knew it,[00:00:24]
And as he grew he'd say:[00:00:26]
"I'm going to be like you, dad,[00:00:27]
You know I'm going to be like you."[00:00:31]
And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,[00:00:35]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.[00:00:38]
"When you coming home, dad?"[00:00:41]
"I don't know when,[00:00:43]
But we'll get together then,[00:00:45]
You know we'll have a good time then."[00:00:48]
My son turned ten just the other day.[00:00:59]
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on[00:01:02]
Let's play.[00:01:04]
Can you teach me to throw?"[00:01:05]
I today ,I've said, "Not got a lot to do."[00:01:06]
He said, "That's OK."[00:01:09]
And he walked away, but his smile never dimmed;[00:01:11]
He said I'm going to be like him,yeah.[00:01:14]
You know I'm going to be like him.[00:01:17]
And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,[00:01:22]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.[00:01:25]
"When you coming home, dad?"[00:01:28]
"I don't know when,[00:01:29]
But we'll get together then,[00:01:31]
You know we'll have a good time then."[00:01:34]
Well, he came from college just the other day,[00:01:46]
So much like a man, I just had to say,[00:01:49]
"Son,I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"[00:01:52]
He shook his head and said with a smile,[00:01:55]
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.[00:01:58]
See you later, can I have them please?"[00:02:02]
And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon,[00:02:06]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon.[00:02:09]
"When you coming home, son?"[00:02:12]
"I don't know when,[00:02:14]
But we'll get together then,[00:02:15]
You know we'll have a good time then."[00:02:18]
I've long since retired, my son's moved away[00:02:37]
I called him up just the other day.[00:02:40]
I said,"I'd like to see you if you don't mind."[00:02:44]
He said,"I'd love to,Dad,if I can fine the time.[00:02:47]
You see,[00:02:52]
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,[00:03:13]
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,[00:03:21]
But we'll get together then,[00:03:23]
You know we'll have a good time then."[00:03:26]
