--- Start Of Cats In The Cradle Lyrics ---

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 before I knew it and as he grew he said I'm going to be like you Dad
You know I'm going to 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 son I don't know when
We'll get together then ... you know we'll have a good time then

My son turned 10 just the other day ... said thanks for the ball now c'mon let's play
Will you teach me to throw, I said not today I've got a lot to do, he said that's ok
And he walked away and his smiled never dimmed he said
You know I'm going to be like you, Dad ... you know I'm going to 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 son I don't know when
We'll get together then ... you know we'll have a good time then

He came from college just the other day ... so much like a man I just had to say
I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while ... he shook his head and said with a smile
What I'm feeling 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 ... you know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired ... and 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's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking you Dad ... it's been real nice talking 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 in the Moon
When you coming home son I don't know when
We'll get together then Dad ... you know we'll have a good time then
