[00:12]My child arrived just the other day; 
[00:15]came to the world in the usually way 
[00:18]but there were planes to catch and bills to pay. 
[00:22]He learned to walk while I was away. 
[00:24]He was talking before I knew it. 
[00:26]And as he grew he said, 
[00:28]"I'm gonna be like you, Dad. 
[00:31]You know I'm gonna be like you." 
[00:35]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, 
[00:39]Little boy blue and the man in the moon. 
[00:42]"When you coming home?" 
[00:43]"Son, I don't know when. 
[00:45]We'll get together then. 
[00:48]You know we'll have a good time then." 
[00:58]Well, my son turned ten just the other day. 
[01:01]He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play. 
[01:04]Could you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today. 
[01:08]I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay." 
[01:11]And he walked away and he smiled he said, 
[01:14]"You know, 
[01:15]I'm gonna be like him, yeah. 
[01:17]You know I'm gonna be like him." 
[01:22]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, 
[01:25]Little boy blue and the man in the moon. 
[01:28]"When you coming home?" 
[01:30]"Son, I don't know when. 
[01:32]We'll get together then. 
[01:34]You know we'll have a good time then." 
[01:46]Well, he came from college just the other day, 
[01:49]So much like a man I just had to say, 
[01:53]"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while?" 
[01:56]He shook his head and he said with a smile, 
[01:59]"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys. 
[02:02]See you later. Can I have them please?" 
[02:07]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, 
[02:10]Little boy blue and the man in the moon. 
[02:13]"When you coming home?" 
[02:15]"Son, I don't know when. 
[02:17]We'll get together then. 
[02:19]You know we'll have a good time then." 
[02:38]I've long since retired, my son's moved away. 
[02:41]I called him up just the other day. 
[02:46]"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind." 
[02:49]He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. 
[02:49]He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time. 
[02:53]You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, 
[02:57]But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad. 
[03:00]It's been sure nice talking to you." 
[03:05]And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, 
[03:08]He'd grown up just like me. 
[03:11]My boy was just like me. 
[03:15](Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[03:16]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, 
[03:19]Little boy blue and the man in the moon. 
[03:22]"When you coming home?" 
[03:23]"Son, I don't know when. 
[03:26]We'll get together then. 
[03:29]You know we'll have a good time then."
[03:33]And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon, 
[03:36]Little boy blue and the man in the moon. 
[03:39]"When you coming home?" 
[03:41]"Son, I don't know when. 
[03:43]We'll get together then. 
[03:45]You know we'll have a good time then."
