Cat's In The Cradle - Jen Chapin

 

My child arrived just the other day

He came to the world in the usual way

But there were planes to catch bills to pay

He learned to walk while I was away

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

He said "I'm gonna be like you"

"You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man on the moon

When you comin' home I don't know when

But we'll get together then

We're gonna have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day

He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play"

"Can you teach me to throw" I said "Not today"

"I've got a lot to do" he said "That's okay"

But he walked away and his smile never dimmed

He said "I'm gonna be like him yeah"

"You know I'm gonna be like him"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man on the moon

When you comin' home I don't know when

But we'll get together then

We're gonna have a good time then

He came home from college just the other day

So much like a man I just had to say

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

He shook his head and just said with a smile

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

See you later can I have them please "

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man on the moon

When you comin' home I don't know when

But we'll get together then

We're gonna have a good time then

I've long since retired my son's moved away

I called him up just the other day

"I'd like to see you if you don't mind"

He said "I'd love to Dad if I could find the time"

"But my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu"

"But it's sure nice talking to you Dad"

"It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me

He'd grown up just like me

My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man on the moon

When you comin' home I don't know when

But we'll get together then

We're gonna have a good time then
