A child arrived ju
st the other day
Came to the world in the u
sual way
There were planes to catch, b
ills to pay
He learned to walk while
I was away
He was talking 'fore I knew it and when he could, he said
"I'm gonna be like
you, dad,
You know I'm gonna be like
you"
The cats in the cradle and t
he silver spoon
Little boy blue and a
man on the moon
When you comin'home son, I
don't know when
We'll get together th
en,
You know we'll have a good time t
hen
My son turned ten just t
he other day
He said "Thanks for the ball dad, c
ome on, let's play
Could you teach me to throw ?", I said "
Not today
I got a lot to do", he said "T
hat's OK"
He walked away with a smile on his face,
he said
"I'm gonna be l
ike him, yeah,
you know I'm gonna be like h
im"
The cats in the cradle and t
he silver spoon
Little boy blue and a
man on the moon
When you comin'home son, I
don't know when
We'll get together th
en,
You know we'll have a good time t
hen
Well he came from college j
ust the other day
So much like a man I just have
to say
I'm proud of you, could you
sit for a while
He shook his head and he s
aid with a smile
Wh
at I'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
see you later, can
I have them please
The cats in the cradle and t
he silver spoon
Little boy blue and a
man on the moon
When you comin'home son, I
don't know when
We'll get together th
en,
You know we'll have a good time t
hen
(Pont)
I've long since retired, my s
on moved away
I called him up jus
t the other day
I'd like to see you, i
f you don't mind
He said : I'd love to, dad,
if I could find the time.
You see,
my new job's hassle and the kids got the flu,
but it's sure nice talking to
you dad,
it was sure nice talki
ng to you.
And as
I hung up the phone is occurred to me
He'd grown up just like
me
My boy was just like m
e !
The cats in the cradle and t
he silver spoon
Little boy blue and a
man on the moon
When you comin'home son, I
don't know when
We'll get together th
en,
You know we'll have a good time t
hen
