Cat's in the Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Afternoon Acoustic/Acoustic Guitar Songs/Acoustic Hits[00:00:00]
My 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[00:00:22]
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it and as he grew[00:00:25]
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 on the moon[00:00:39]
When you comin' home dad[00:00:43]
I don't know when but we'll get together then[00:00:44]
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[00:01:04]
Can you teach me to throw I said not today[00:01:07]
I got a lot to do he said that's ok[00:01:10]
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed[00:01:13]
And said I'm gonna be like him yeah[00:01:17]
You know I'm gonna be like him[00:01:20]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:01:25]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:01:28]
When you comin' home dad[00:01:31]
I don't know when but we'll get together then[00:01:33]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:01:38]
Well he came from college just the other day[00:01:49]
So much like a man I just had to say[00:01:53]
Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while[00:01:56]
He shook his head and said with a smile[00:02:00]
What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys[00:02:02]
See you later can I have them please[00:02:06]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:02:10]
Little boy blue and the man on the moon[00:02:14]
When you comin' home son[00:02:17]
I don't know when but we'll get together then dad[00:02:19]
You know we'll have a good time then[00:02:23]
I've long since retired my son's moved away[00:02:36]
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 find the time[00:02:47]
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu[00:02:52]
But it's sure nice talking to you dad[00:02:55]
It's been sure nice talking to you[00:02:59]
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[00:03:10]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon[00:03:14]
Little boy blue and the man in the moon[00:03:18]
When you comin' home son[00:03:21]
I don't know when but we'll get together then dad[00:03:22]
We're gonna have a good time then[00:03:27]
