[00:00.70]Cat's In The Cradle - Graham Blvd.
[00:12.15]My child arrived just the other day
[00:15.15]He came to the world in the usual way
[00:17.80]But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
[00:21.71]He learned to walk while I was away
[00:24.01]And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
[00:27.25]He'd say "I'm gonna be like you, Dad
[00:30.94]You know I'm gonna be like you"
[00:35.58]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
[00:38.87]Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[00:42.01]When you comin' home, Dad
[00:43.37]I don't know when, we'll get together then
[00:48.25]You know we'll have a good time then
[01:00.24]My son turned ten just the other day
[01:02.91]He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
[01:06.19]Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
[01:09.01]I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok
[01:12.30]And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
[01:15.15]And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
[01:18.93]You know I'm gonna be like him"
[01:23.46]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
[01:26.76]Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[01:29.79]When you comin' home, Dad
[01:31.14]I don't know when, we'll get together then
[01:35.97]You know we'll have a good time then
[01:47.59]Well, he came from college just the other day
[01:50.60]So much like a man I just had to say
[01:53.79]"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while"
[01:56.95]He shook his head and said with a smile
[01:59.97]"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
[02:03.88]See you later, can I have them please"
[02:07.93]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
[02:11.23]Little boy blue and the man on the moon
[02:14.47]When you comin' home son
[02:15.65]I don't know when ,we'll get together then, Dad
[02:20.44]You know we'll have a good time then
[02:39.23]I've long since retired, my son's moved away
[02:42.31]I called him up just the other day
[02:46.82]I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
[02:49.86]He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
[02:54.53]You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
[02:57.87]But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
[03:01.22]It's sure nice talking to you"
[03:05.55]And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
[03:09.06]He'd grown up just like me
[03:12.38]My boy was just like me
[03:16.94]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
[03:20.23]Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[03:23.31]When you comin' home son
[03:24.62]I don't know when, we'll get together then, Dad
[03:29.49]You know we'll have a good time then
