this goes out to all the busy people: My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and there were bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talking fore I knew it and as he grew Hed say, Im gonna be like you, dad You know, Im gonna be like you And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon When you coming home, dad? I dont know when Well get together then, son, you know well have a good time then When my son turned ten just the other day Said, Thanks for the ball, dad, come on and lets play Can you teach me to throw? I said, Not today I got a lot to do he said, Thats okay And he walked away but his smile never dimmed Said, Im gonna be like him, yeah You know, Im gonna be like him And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon When you coming home, dad? I dont know when Well get together then, son, you know well 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, Im proud of you, can you sit for a while? He shook his head and he said with a smile What Id really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys See you later Can I have them please? And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon When you coming home, son? I dont know when But well get together then, dad, Were gonna have a good time then Well, Ive long since retired and my sons moved away Called him up just the other day I said, Id like to see you if you dont mind He said, Id love to, dad, if I could find the time You see, my new jobs a hassle and the kids got the flu But its sure nice talking to you, dad Its been sure nice talking to you And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me Hed grown up just like me My boy was just like me Yeah, and the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon When you coming home, son? I dont know when But well get together then, dad, were gonna have a good time then Harry Chapin - Cats In The Cradle Lyrics | MetroLyrics
