Cat's in the Cradle

Cats in the Cradle - Various Artists (歐美羣星)

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

He was talkin' fore i knew it and as he grew

Hed say i'm gonna be like you day

You 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 you 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 let's play

Could you 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

You 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 you comin' home dad

I don't know when well get together then

You 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

I'm proud of you could you 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 you 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 you comin' home son

I don't know when well get together then

You know well have a good time then

I've long since retired my sons moved away

I called him up just the other day

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

He said 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 me

The 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 you comin' home son

I don't know when well get together then

Were gonna have a good time then

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin' home son

I don't know when well get together then

You know well have a good time then
