《Cat’s In The Cradle》歌词

[00:00:00] Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Derek Sholl

[00:00:09] My child arrived just the other day;

[00:00:12] He came to the world in the usual away

[00:00:15] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

[00:00:19] He learned to walk while I was away

[00:00:21] And he was talking before I knew it

[00:00:23] And as he grew he'd say:

[00:00:25] "I'm going to be like you dad

[00:00:28] You know I'm going to be like you "

[00:00:33] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:00:37] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:00:40] "When you coming home dad "

[00:00:41] "I don't know when

[00:00:43] But we'll get together then

[00:00:46] You know we'll have a good time then "

[00:00:58] My son turned ten just the other day

[00:01:01] He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play

[00:01:05] Can you teach me to throw "

[00:01:06] I've said "Not I today I got a lot to do "

[00:01:09] He said "That's OK "

[00:01:11] And he walked away but his smile never dimmed;

[00:01:15] I'm going to be like him

[00:01:18] You know I'm going to be like him

[00:01:22] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:01:26] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:01:29] "When you coming home dad "

[00:01:31] "I don't know when

[00:01:33] But we'll get together then

[00:01:36] You know we'll have a good time then "

[00:01:48] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:51] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:54] "Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while "

[00:01:58] He shook his head and said with a smile

[00:02:00] "What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:05] See you later can I have them please "

[00:02:09] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:02:12] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:02:16] "When you coming home son "

[00:02:17] "I don't know when

[00:02:19] But we'll get together then

[00:02:22] You know we'll have a good time then "

[00:02:41] I've long since retired my son's moved away

[00:02:45] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:49] I said "I'd like to see you if you don't mind "

[00:02:52] He said "I'd love to Dad if I can fine the time

[00:02:57] You see my new job's a has and the kids have the flu

[00:03:01] But it's sure nice talking to you dad

[00:03:04] It's been sure nice talking to you "

[00:03:09] And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me

[00:03:12] He'd grown up just like me

[00:03:15] My boy was just like me

[00:03:20] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:03:24] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:03:27] "When you coming home son "

[00:03:28] "I don't know when

[00:03:30] But we'll get together then

[00:03:33] You know we'll have a good time then "

[00:03:37] We'll got have a good time then "
