歌曲歌詞
A child arrived 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 talking
Fore I knew it
And as he grew he'd say
I'm gonna be like you dad
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
In the moon
When you coming home dad
I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know
We'll have a good time then
My son turned ten
Just the other day
He said thanks for the ball
Come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw
I said not today
I got a lot to do
He said that's okay
He walked away
But 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 in the moon
When you coming home dad
I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know
We'll 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 you sit for a while
He shook his head and
Then 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 cat's in the cradle
And the silver spoon
Little boy blue and
The man in the moon
When you coming home son
I don't know when
We'll get together then
That we'll have a good time
Then
Now wish I my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said I'd like to see you
If you don't mind
He said I'd love to dad
If I could find the time
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 in the moon
When you coming home dad
I don't know when
But we'll get together then
That
You gonna have a good time then
