เพลง Cats In The Cradle

My child arrived just the other day

He came to the world in the usual way

But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

He learned to walk while I was away

And he was talkin fore I knew it and as he grew

Hed say I'm gonna be like you yeh

I know I'm gonna be like you

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon

When ya comin home Dad

I don't know when well get together then son

Ya know well have a good time then

Well my son turned 10 just the other day

He said thanks for the ball Dad come lets play

Can ya teach me to throw I said

Not today I got a lot to do he said that's ok

And then he walked away but a smile never came

He said I'm gonna be like him yeh

Ya know I'm gonna be like him

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon

When ya comin home Dad

I don't know when well get together then son

Ya know well have a good time then

Well he came from college just the other day

So much like a man I just had to say

Son I'm proud of you can ya sit for a while

He shook his head and he said with a smile

What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys

See ya later can I have them please

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon

When ya comin home son

I dont know when well get together then Dad

Ya know well have a good time then

Well I've long since retired my sons moved away

I called him up just the other day

I said Id like to see you if you don't mind

He said Id love to Dad if I can find the time

You see my new jobs a hassle and the kids have the flu

But its sure nice talking to you Dad

It's been sure nice talking to you

And as he hung up the phone it occurred to me

Hed grown up just like my boy was just like me

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon

When ya comin home son

I don't know when well get together then Dad

Were gonna have a good time then
