[00:12.0]My child arrived just the other day;
[00:15.0]came to the world in the usually way
[00:18.0]but there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
[00:22.0]He learned to walk while I was away.
[00:24.0]He was talking before I knew it.
[00:26.0]And as he grew he said,
[00:28.0]"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
[00:31.0]You know I'm gonna be like you."
[00:35.0]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[00:39.0]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[00:42.0]"When you coming home?"
[00:43.0]"Son, I don't know when.
[00:45.0]We'll get together then.
[00:48.0]You know we'll have a good time then."
[00:58.0]Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
[01:01.0]He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play.
[01:04.0]Could you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today.
[01:08.0]I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay."
[01:11.0]And he walked away and he smiled he said,
[01:14.0]"You know,
[01:15.0]I'm gonna be like him, yeah.
[01:17.0]You know I'm gonna be like him."
[01:22.0]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[01:25.0]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[01:28.0]"When you coming home?"
[01:30.0]"Son, I don't know when.
[01:32.0]We'll get together then.
[01:34.0]You know we'll have a good time then."
[01:46.0]Well, he came from college just the other day,
[01:49.0]So much like a man I just had to say,
[01:53.0]"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?"
[01:56.0]He shook his head and he said with a smile,
[01:59.0]"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
[02:02.0]See you later. Can I have them please?"
[02:07.0]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[02:10.0]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[02:13.0]"When you coming home?"
[02:15.0]"Son, I don't know when.
[02:17.0]We'll get together then.
[02:19.0]You know we'll have a good time then."
[02:38.0]I've long since retired, my son's moved away.
[02:41.0]I called him up just the other day.
[02:46.0]"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
[02:49.0]He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
[02:49.0]He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
[02:53.0]You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
[02:57.0]But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad.
[03:00.0]It's been sure nice talking to you."
[03:05.0]And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
[03:08.0]He'd grown up just like me.
[03:11.0]My boy was just like me.
[03:15.0](Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[03:16.0]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[03:19.0]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:22.0]"When you coming home?"
[03:23.0]"Son, I don't know when.
[03:26.0]We'll get together then.
[03:29.0]You know we'll have a good time then."
[03:33.0]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon,
[03:36.0]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:39.0]"When you coming home?"
[03:41.0]"Son, I don't know when.
[03:43.0]We'll get together then.
[03:45.0]You know we'll have a good time then."
