Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Judy Collins
My child arrived just 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 talkin' '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"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' 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 Dad 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 ok "
He turned away but his smile never dimmed
"I'm gonna be like him " he said
Yes I'm gonna be like him "

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home "
"I don't know when
We'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then "

Well he came from college the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"I'm proud of you son Will you sit for a while "
He shook his head and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like to do is borrow the car keys
I'll see you later Can I have them please "
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home "
"I don't know when
We'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then "

Well I've long since retired and my child 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 "

He said "My new job's a hassle
And the kids got the flu
But it's so nice talking to you dad
It's so nice talking to you "

And as I hung up the phone
It occurred to me

My boy's a lot like me

My boy's a lot like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home "
"I don't know when
We'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then "
"We'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then "
