“My child arrived just the other day,
\nHe came through the world in the usual way.
\nBut there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
\nHe learned to walk while I was away.
\nAnd he was talking ‘fore I knew it, and as he grew,
\nHe’d say, “I’m gonna be like you, dad.
\nYou know I’m gonna be like you.”<\/p>\nAnd the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
\nLittle boy blue and the man on the moon.
\n“When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when,
\nBut we’ll get together then.
\nwere gonna have a good time then.”<\/p>\n
My son turned ten just the other day.
\nHe said, “Thanks for the ball, dad, come on let’s play.
\nCan you teach me to throw?” I said, “Not today,
\nI got a lot to do.” He said, “That’s ok.”
\nAnd he walked away, but his smile never dimmed,and
\nSaid, “I’m gonna be like him, yeah.
\nYou know I’m gonna be like him.”<\/p>\n
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
\nLittle boy blue and the man on the moon.
\n“When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when,
\nBut we’ll get together then.
\nwere gonna have a good time then.”<\/p>\n
Well, he came from college just the other day,
\nSo much like a man I just had to say,
\n“Son, I’m proud of you. Can you sit for a while?”
\nHe shook his head, and he said with a smile,
\n“What I’d really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys.
\nSee you later. Can I have them please?”<\/p>\n
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
\nLittle boy blue and the man on the moon.
\n“When you coming home, son?” “I don’t know when,
\nBut we’ll get together then, dad.
\nwere gonna have a good time then.”<\/p>\n
I’ve long since retired and my son’s moved away.
\nI called him up just the other day.
\nI said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind.”
\nHe said, “I’d love to, dad, if I could find the time.
\nYou see, my new job’s a hassle, and the kid’s have the flu,
\nBut it’s sure nice talking to you, dad.
\nIt’s been sure nice talking to you.”
\nAnd as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me,
\nHe’d grown up just like me.
\nMy boy was just like me.<\/p>\n
And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
\nLittle boy blue and the man on the moon.
\n“When you coming home, son?” “I don’t know when,
\nBut we’ll get together then, dad.
\nyou know well have a good time then.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
