Jim Croce - Cats In The Cradle Lyrics

Send "Cats In The Cradle" ringtone to your cell

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 i'm going to be like you dad

You know i'm going to be like you.

And the cat's 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

We'll get together then you know we'll have a good time then.

My son turned 10 just the other day

Said thanks for the ball now c'mon let's play

Will you teach me to throw i said not today

I've got a lot to do he said that's ok

And he walked away and he smiled and he said

You know i'm going to be like you dad

You know i'm going to be like you.

And the cat's 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

We'll get together then you know we'll have a good time then.

He came from college just the other day

So much like a man i just had to say

I'm proud of you won't you sit for a while

He shook his head and said with a smile

What i'm feeling like dad is to borrow the car keys

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 son i don't know when

We'll get together then you know we'll have a good time then.

I've long since retired and my son's moved away

I called him up just the other day

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 job's a hassle and the kids have the flu

But it's sure nice talking you dad it's been real nice talking to you.

And as i hung up the phone it occured to me

He'd grown up just like me my boy was just 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 son i don't know when

We'll get together then you know we'll have a good time then.

And the cat's 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

We'll get together then you know we'll have a good time then.
