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 cats in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little Boy Blue and The Man In The Moon.

Said 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 10 just the other day.
He said thanks for the ball, dad, come on lets play.
Can you teach me to throw?
I said, not today, I got a lot to do.
He said that's okay.

And he walked away but his smile never dimmed,
Said, I'm gonna be like him yeah.
You know I'm gonna be like him.

And the cats in the cradle and 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 said with a smile,
What I'd 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 don't know when,
But we'll get together then, Dad.
You know we'll have a good time then.

I've long since retired, my sons 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 jobs a hassel, and the kids got 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.

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 don't know when,
But we'll get together then, Dad.
We're going to have a good time then.
