Strophe)
A child arrived just the other day
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 talking 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
Refrain)
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
when you comin´home son, I don´t know when
We´ll get gogether then
You know we´ll have a good tome then
Strophe)
Well my son turned ten just the other day
He said Thanks for the ball dad, come on let´s play
Yould you teach me to throw, I said Not today
I got a lot to do, he said That´s Ok
And he walked away and he smiled and he said
I´m gonna be like him, yeah
You know I´m gonna be like him
Refrain)
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
when you comin´home son, I don´t know when
We´ll get gogether then
You know we´ll have a good tome then
Strophe)
Well he came from college just 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 said with a smile
What I´d really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please
Refrain)
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
when you comin´home son, I don´t know when
We´ll get gogether then
You know we´ll have a good tome then
Strophe)
I´ve long since retired, my son´s moved away
I called him up just the other day
I´d like to see you, if you don´t mind
He said, I´d love to, dad, if I could find the time
You see, my new job a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it´s sure nice talking to yu dad
It´s been sure nice talkin´to you
Bridge)
And as I hung up the phone is occurred to me
He´d grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
Refrain)
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and a man on the moon
when you comin´home son, I don´t know when
We´ll get gogether then
You know we´ll have a good tome then
