[00:00:00] Cat"s In The Cradle - HARRY CHAPIN
[00:12:00] My child arrived just the other day
[00:15:00] He came to the world in the day usual
[00:17:00] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
[00:22:00] He learned to walk while I was away
[00:24:00] And he was talking before I knew it
[00:26:00] And as he grew he"d say
[00:28:00] I"m going to be like you Dad
[00:31:00] You know I"m going to be like you
[00:36:00] And the cat"s in the crader and the silver spoon
[00:39:00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[00:42:00] When you coming home Dad
[00:44:00] I don"t know when
[00:45:00] But we"ll get together then
[00:48:00] You know we"ll have a good time then
[01:00:00] My son turned ten just the other day
[01:03:00] He said thanks for the ball dad come on let"s play
[01:06:00] Can you teach me to throw
[01:07:00] I today I"ve said not got a lot to do
[01:11:00] He said that"s Ok
[01:12:00] And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
[01:15:00] He said I"m going to be like him yeah
[01:19:00] You know I"m going to be like him
[01:23:00] And the cat"s in the crader and the silver spoon
[01:26:00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[01:30:00] When you coming home Dad
[01:31:00] I don"t know when
[01:32:00] But we"ll get together then
[01:35:00] You know we"ll have a good time then
[01:47:00] Well he came from college just the other day
[01:50:00] So much like a man I just had to say
[01:53:00] Son I"m proud of you can you sit for a while
[01:56:00] He shook his head and said with a smile
[01:59:00] What I"d really like Dad is to borrow the car keys
[02:02:00] See you later can I have them please
[02:06:00] And the cat"s in the crader and the silver spoon
[02:10:00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[02:13:00] When you coming home son
[02:14:00] I don"t know when
[02:16:00] But we"ll get together then
[02:19:00] You know we"ll have a good time then
[02:37:00] I"ve long since retired my son"s moved away
[02:40:00] I called him up just the other day
[02:44:00] I said I"d like to see you if you don"t mind
[02:47:00] He said I"d love to Dad if I can fine the time
[02:52:00] You see my new job"s a worry and the kids have the flu
[02:55:00] But it"s sure nice talking to you Dad
[02:58:00] It"s sure been nice talking to you
[03:03:00] And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
[03:06:00] He"d grown up just like me
[03:09:00] My boy was just like me
[03:14:00] And the cat"s in the crader and the silver spoon
[03:17:00] Little boy blue and the man in the moon
[03:20:00] When you coming home son
