Cats And The Cradle by Cat Stevens


A 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 talking before I knew It

And as he grew

He said "Im gonna be like you Dad you know Im gonna be like you"

 

(chorus)

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin home son I dont know when 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 lets play

Can you teach me to throw?"

I said "Not today Ive got alot to do"

He said "Thats okay"

He walked away and he smiled and he said

"you know Im gonna be like you dad

You know Im gonna be like you......"

(chorus)

 

He came from college just the other day

So much like a man I just had to say

"Son Im proud of you can you sit for a while?"

He shook his head and he said with a smile

"What Im feeling like dad is to borrow the car keys

See you later can I have them please?"

 

(chorus)

 

Ive long since retired my son has moved away

I called him up just the other day

I said "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 talking to you dad Its been sure nice talking to you........"

And as he hung up the phone It had occured to me

He'd grown up just like me my boy was just like me..............

 

(chorus)
