[00:12]My child arrived just the other day;
[00:15]came to the world in the usually way
[00:18]but there were planes to catch and bills to pay.
[00:22]He learned to walk while I was away.
[00:24]He was talking before I knew it.
[00:26]And as he grew he said'
[00:28]"I'm gonna be like you' Dad.
[00:31]You know I'm gonna be like you."
[00:35]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[00:39]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[00:42]"When you coming home?"
[00:43]"Son' I don't know when.
[00:45]We'll get together then.
[00:48]You know we'll have a good time then."
[00:58]Well' my son turned ten just the other day.
[01:01]He said' "Thanks for the ball' Dad. Come on' let's play.
[01:04]Could you teach me to throw?" I said' "Not today.
[01:08]I got a lot to do." He said' "That's okay."
[01:11]And he walked away and he smiled he said'
[01:14]"You know'
[01:15]I'm gonna be like him' yeah.
[01:17]You know I'm gonna be like him."
[01:22]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[01:25]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[01:28]"When you coming home?"
[01:30]"Son' I don't know when.
[01:32]We'll get together then.
[01:34]You know we'll have a good time then."
[01:46]Well' he came from college just the other day'
[01:49]So much like a man I just had to say'
[01:53]"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?"
[01:56]He shook his head and he said with a smile'
[01:59]"What I'd really like' Dad' is to borrow the car keys.
[02:02]See you later. Can I have them please?"
[02:07]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[02:10]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[02:13]"When you coming home?"
[02:15]"Son' I don't know when.
[02:17]We'll get together then.
[02:19]You know we'll have a good time then."
[02:38]I've long since retired' my son's moved away.
[02:41]I called him up just the other day.
[02:46]"I'd like to see you' if you don't mind."
[02:49]He said' "I'd love to' Dad' if I could find the time.
[02:49]He said' "I'd love to' Dad' if I could find the time.
[02:53]You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu'
[02:57]But it's sure nice talking to you' Dad.
[03:00]It's been sure nice talking to you."
[03:05]And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me'
[03:08]He'd grown up just like me.
[03:11]My boy was just like me.
[03:15]（Yeah' yeah' yeah）
[03:16]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[03:19]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:22]"When you coming home?"
[03:23]"Son' I don't know when.
[03:26]We'll get together then.
[03:29]You know we'll have a good time then."
[03:33]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon'
[03:36]Little boy blue and the man in the moon.
[03:39]"When you coming home?"
[03:41]"Son' I don't know when.
[03:43]We'll get together then.
[03:45]You know we'll have a good time then."
