Lyrics Cat's in the Cradle

A child arrived just the other day
He 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
And he was talkin' '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
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home Dad
I don't know when
But we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said Thanks for the ball Dad
Come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw
I said Not today
I got a lot to do
He said That's okay
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed, it said
I'm gonna be like him yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home Dad
I don't know when
But 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
Son I'm proud of you
Can 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 ya later
Can I have them please
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home Son
I don't know when
But we'll get together then Dad
You know we'll have a good time then
Now I've retired
My son moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said I'd like to see you if you don't mind
He said I'd love to Dad if I could find the time
My new job's a hassle and the kids got the flu but it's nice talkin' to you Dad
It's sure nice talkin' to you
As I hung up the phone it occurred 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 on the moon
When you comin' home Son
I don't know when
But we'll get together then Dad
You're gonna have a good time then
