《Cat’s In The Cradle》歌词

[00:00:00] Cat's In The Cradle - The Hit Crew

[00:00:11] My child arrived just the other day

[00:00:14] He came to the world in the usual way

[00:00:17] But there were planes to catch

[00:00:19] And bills to pay

[00:00:21] He learned to walk while I was away

[00:00:23] And he was talking 'fore I knew it

[00:00:25] And as he grew

[00:00:26] He'd say "I'm gonna be like you Dad

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

[00:00:34] And the cat's in the cradle

[00:00:35] And the silver spoon

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

[00:00:40] When you coming home Dad

[00:00:42] 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

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

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

[00:01:05] I said "Not today

[00:01:07] I got a lot to do" he said "That's ok

[00:01:10] And he walked away

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

[00:01:13] And said "I'm gonna be like him yeah

[00:01:17] You know I'm gonna be like him"

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

[00:01:22] And the silver spoon

[00:01:24] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:01:28] When you coming home Dad

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

[00:01:30] But we'll get together then yeah

[00:01:33] We'll gonna 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

[00:01:52] Can you sit for a while"

[00:01:54] He shook his head 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 cradle

[00:02:06] And the silver spoon

[00:02:08] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:02:11] When you coming home son

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

[00:02:14] But we'll get together then yeah

[00:02:17] You know we'll have a good time then

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

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

[00:02:39] 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 find the time

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

[00:02:52] And kids have the flu

[00:02:54] But it's sure nice talking to you Dad

[00:02:57] It's been sure nice talking to you"

[00:03:01] And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me

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

[00:03:08] My boy was just like me

[00:03:12] And the cat's in the cradle

[00:03:14] And the silver spoon

[00:03:16] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

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

[00:03:20] I don't know when

[00:03:22] But we'll get together then yeah

[00:03:25] We're gonna have a good time then
