Ricky Skaggs - Cat's in the Cradle lyrics
(Words and music by Harry Chapin) A child arrived the other day, He came to the world in the usual way. But there were planes to catch and bills to pay, He learned to walk while I was away, And he was talking 'fore I knew it. And as he grew he'd say, I'm gonna be like you dad, You know I'm gonna be like you. Chorus: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home dad? I don't know when, But we'll get together then, You know we'll have a good time then. My son turned ten just the other day, He said, Thanks for the ball come on let's play, Can you teach me to throw? I said, Not today, I got a lot to do.He said, That's okay. He walked away but his smile never dimmed, He said, I'm gonna be like him, Yeah, you know I'm gonna be like him. Chorus: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home dad? I don't know when, But we'll get together then, You know we'll have a good time then. Well, he came from college just the other day, So much like a man I just had to say, Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while. He shook his head and then he said with a smile, What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys, See you later can I have them please. Chorus: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home son? I don't know when, But we'll have a good time then dad, You know we'll have a good time then. I've long since retired my son's moved away. I called him up just the other day, I said, I'd like to see you if you don't mind. He said, I'd love to dad if I could find the time, You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, But it's sure nice talking to you dad, It's been sure nice talking to you. And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me, He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me. Chorus: And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon. Little boy blue and the man in the moon. When you coming home son? I don't know when, But we'll have a good time then dad, You know we'll have a good time then.... |
