[Verse 1]
My child arriv
ed just the ot
her day;
Came to the wo
rld in the usu
al way
But there were
planes to cat
ch and bills t
o pay.
He learned to
walk while I w
as away.
He was talking
'fore I knew
it and as he g
rew, he said,
"I'm gonna be
like you, Dad.
You know I'm g
onna be like y
ou."
[Chorus 1]
And the cat's
in the cradle
and the silver
spoon,
Little boy blu
e and a man on
the moon.
"When you comi
n' home?"
"Son, I don't
know when,
We'll get toge
ther then.
You know we'll
have a good t
ime then."
[Verse 2]
Well, my son t
urned ten just
the other day
.
He said, "Than
ks for the bal
l, Dad. Come o
n, let's play.
Could you teac
h me to throw?
", I said "Not
today
I got a lot to
do." He said,
"That's okay.
"
And he walked
away and he sm
iled and he sa
id
"You know, I'm
gonna be like
him, yeah.
You know I'm g
onna be like h
im."
[Chorus 2]
And the cat's
in the cradle
and the silver
spoon,
Little boy blu
e and a man on
the moon.
"When you comi
n' home?"
"Son, I don't
know when,
We'll get toge
ther then.
You know we'll
have a good t
ime then."
[Verse 3]
Well, he came
from college j
ust the other
day,
So much like a
man I just ha
d to say.
"I'm proud of
you, could you
sit for a whi
le?"
He shook his h
ead and he sai
d with a smile
,
"What I'd real
ly like, Dad,
is to borrow t
he car keys.
See you later.
Can I have th
em please?"
[Chorus 3]
And the cat's
in the cradle
and the silver
spoon,
Little boy blu
e and a man on
the moon.
"When you comi
n' home, Son?"
"I don't know
when,
We'll get toge
ther then.
You know we'll
have a good t
ime then."
[Verse 4]
I've long sinc
e retired, my
son's moved aw
ay
I called him u
p just the oth
er day.
"I'd like to s
ee you, if you
don't mind."
He said, I'd l
ove to, Dad, i
f I could find
the time.
You see, my ne
w job's a hass
le and the kid
s have the flu
,
But it's sure
nice talking t
o you, Dad.
It's been sure
nice talking
to you."
[Ending verse]
And as I hung
up the phone i
t occurred to
me,
He'd grown up
just like me.
My boy was jus
t like me.
