《Cat’s In The Cradle》歌词

[00:00:00] Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Ray Conniff (雷康·尼夫)

[00:00:12] My child arrived just the other day

[00:00:15] Came into the world in the usual way

[00:00:18] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

[00:00:22] He learned to walk while I was away

[00:00:25] And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it

[00:00:27] And as he grew

[00:00:28] He'd say I'm gonna be like you dad

[00:00:31] You know I'm gonna be like you

[00:00:36] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:00:39] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:00:43] When you comin' home dad

[00:00:45] I don't know when

[00:00:46] But we'll get together then

[00:00:49] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:01:02] My son turned ten just the other day

[00:01:05] He said thanks for the ball

[00:01:06] Dad come on let's play

[00:01:08] Can you teach me to throw

[00:01:09] I said not today

[00:01:11] I got a lot to do he said that's ok

[00:01:14] And he walked away but his smile never dimmed

[00:01:17] And said I'm gonna be like him yeah

[00:01:21] You know I'm gonna be like him

[00:01:26] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:01:29] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:01:32] When you comin' home dad

[00:01:34] I don't know when but we'll get together then

[00:01:39] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:01:51] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:54] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:57] Son I'm proud of you

[00:01:59] Can you sit for a while

[00:02:00] He shook his head and he said with a smile

[00:02:04] What I'd really like

[00:02:05] Dad is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:07] See you later can I have them please

[00:02:11] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:02:15] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:02:18] When you comin' home son

[00:02:20] I don't know when

[00:02:21] But we'll get together then

[00:02:25] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:02:28] La la la la la

[00:02:37] I've long since retired

[00:02:39] My son's moved away

[00:02:41] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:45] I said I'd like to see you if you don't mind

[00:02:48] He said I'd love to dad

[00:02:50] If I can find the time

[00:02:53] You see my new job's a hassle

[00:02:54] And the kids have the flu

[00:02:56] But it's sure nice talking to you dad

[00:02:59] It's been sure nice talking to you

[00:03:04] And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me

[00:03:08] He'd grown up just like me

[00:03:11] My boy was just like me

[00:03:15] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:03:19] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:03:22] When you comin' home son

[00:03:23] I don't know when

[00:03:25] But we'll get together then dad

[00:03:28] We'll gonna have a good time then

[00:03:32] La la laa la laa
