歌曲歌詞
A 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 he said:
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 on the moon
When you comin' 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 dad 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
And he walked away but
His smile never dimmed it 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
Dad I don't know when
But we'll 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 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 cat's in the cradle
And the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home
Son I don't know when
But we'll get together then dad
You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired
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 can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids are the flu
But it's sure nice talkin' to you dad
It's been sure nice talkin' to you
And as I hung up the phone it occured 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
Son I don't know when
But we'll get together then dad
Were gonna have a good time then
