My child arrived just the other day 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 He was talkin fore I knew it And as he grew he said, 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 n the moon. When you comin home? Son, I dont know when. Well get together then. You know well have a good time then. Well, my son turned ten just the other day. He said, Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, lets play. Could you teach me to throw? I said, Not today. I got a lot to do. He said, Thats okay. And he walked away and he smiled and he said, You know, Im gonna be like him, yeah. You know Im gonna be like him. Ive long since retired, my sons moved away. I called him up just the other day. 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 have the flu, But its sure nice talkin to you, Dad. Its been sure nice talkin 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.
