《Cat’s in the Cradle(45 Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Cats In The Cradle (45 Version) - Harry Chapin

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

[00:00:15] He came to the world in the usual way

[00:00:18] But there were planes to catch

[00:00:20] And bills to pay

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

[00:00:25] Talkin' 'fore I knew it

[00:00:26] And as he grew he said:

[00:00:28] 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

[00:00:38] And the silver spoon

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

[00:00:42] When you comin' home

[00:00:44] Dad 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

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

[00:01:04] Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play

[00:01:07] Can you teach me to throw I said not today

[00:01:09] I got a lot to do he said that's okay

[00:01:13] And he walked away but

[00:01:14] His smile never dimmed it said

[00:01:16] I'm gonna be like him yeah

[00:01:19] You know I'm gonna be like him

[00:01:23] And the cat's in the cradle

[00:01:25] And the silver spoon

[00:01:27] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:01:30] When you comin' home

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

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

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

[00:01:47] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:50] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:53] Son I'm proud of you

[00:01:55] Can ya sit for a while

[00:01:56] He shook his head

[00:01:58] And he said with a smile

[00:01:59] What I'd really like dad

[00:02:01] Is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:03] See ya later can I have them please

[00:02:07] And the cat's in the cradle

[00:02:09] And the silver spoon

[00:02:10] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:02:13] When you comin' home

[00:02:14] Son I don't know when

[00:02:16] But we'll get together then dad

[00:02:19] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:02:31] I've long since retired

[00:02:33] My son's moved away

[00:02:35] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:39] I said I'd like to see you

[00:02:40] If you don't mind he said

[00:02:42] I'd love to dad if I can find the time

[00:02:46] You see my new job's a hassle and the kids are the flu

[00:02:49] But it's sure nice talkin' to you dad

[00:02:52] It's been sure nice talkin' to you

[00:02:57] And as I hung up the phone it occured to me

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

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

[00:03:08] And the cat's in the cradle

[00:03:10] And the silver spoon

[00:03:11] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:03:14] When you comin' home

[00:03:16] Son I don't know when

[00:03:17] But we'll get together then dad

[00:03:20] Were gonna have a good time then
