[00:00:12] My child arrived

[00:00:13] Just the other day;

[00:00:15] He came to the world

[00:00:16] In the usual way

[00:00:17] But there were planes

[00:00:18] To catch and bills to pay

[00:00:21] He learned to walk

[00:00:22] While I was away

[00:00:24] And he was talking

[00:00:24] Before I knew it

[00:00:25] And as he grew he'd say:

[00:00:27] "I'm going to be like you dad

[00:00:30] You know I'm going to be like you "

[00:00:35] And the cat's in the crader

[00:00:36] And the silver spoon

[00:00:38] Little boy blue

[00:00:39] And the man in the moon

[00:00:41] "When you coming home dad "

[00:00:42] "I don't know when

[00:00:44] We'll get together then

[00:00:47] You know

[00:00:47] We'll have a good time then "

[00:00:59] My son turned ten just the other day

[00:01:01] He said "Thanks for the ball

[00:01:03] Dad

[00:01:03] Come on let's play

[00:01:04] Can you teach me to throw "

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

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

[00:01:10] And he walked away

[00:01:12] But his smile never dimmed;

[00:01:13] He said I'm going to be

[00:01:15] Like him yeah

[00:01:17] You know I'm going

[00:01:18] To be like him

[00:01:21] And the cat's in the crader

[00:01:23] And the silver spoon

[00:01:25] Little boy blue

[00:01:26] And the man in the moon

[00:01:28] "When you coming home dad "

[00:01:29] "I don't know when

[00:01:31] We'll get together then

[00:01:34] You know

[00:01:34] We'll have a good time then "

[00:01:45] Well he came from college

[00:01:46] Just the other day

[00:01:48] So much like a man

[00:01:49] I just had to say

[00:01:51] "Son I'm proud of you

[00:01:53] Can you sit for a while "

[00:01:55] He shook his head

[00:01:56] And said with a smile

[00:01:57] "What I'd really like Dad

[00:01:59] Is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:01] See you later

[00:02:02] Can I have them please "

[00:02:05] And the cat's in the crader

[00:02:07] And the silver spoon

[00:02:09] Little boy blue

[00:02:10] And the man in the moon

[00:02:12] "When you coming home son "

[00:02:13] "I don't know when

[00:02:15] We'll get together then yeah

[00:02:18] You know

[00:02:18] We'll have a good time then "

[00:02:36] I've long since retired

[00:02:37] My son's moved away

[00:02:40] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:43] I said "I'd like to see you

[00:02:45] If you don't mind "

[00:02:46] He said "I'd love to Dad

[00:02:48] If I can fine the time

[00:02:51] You see my new job's has a land

[00:02:53] Kids have the flu

[00:02:54] But it's sure nice

[00:02:55] Talking to you dad

[00:02:58] It's sure been nice

[00:02:58] Talking to you "

[00:03:02] And as I hung up the phone

[00:03:04] It occurred to me

[00:03:05] He'd grown up just like me

[00:03:09] My boy was just like me

[00:03:13] And the cat's in the crader

[00:03:14] And the silver spoon

[00:03:16] Little boy blue

[00:03:17] And the man in the moon

[00:03:19] "When you coming home son "

[00:03:21] "I don't know when

[00:03:23] We'll get together then

[00:03:26] You know

[00:03:26] We'll have a good time then "
