Judy Collins - Cats In The Cradle Lyrics

Send "Cats In The Cradle" ringtone to your cell

My child arrived just the other day

He came to the world in the usual way

But there were planes to catch bills to pay

He learned to walk while I was away

And he was talking 'fore I knew it and as he grew

He said "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

When you comin' home? I don't know when

We'll get together then son

You know we'll have a good time then

My child turned ten the other day

He said "Thanks for the ball dad come on let's play

Can you teach me to throw?" I said "Not today

I got a lot to do" he said "That's okay"

He turned away but his smile never dimmed

"I'm gonna be like him" he said

"Yes I'm going to be like him"

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin' home? I don't know when

We'll get together then son

You know we'll have a good time then

When he came from college the other day

So much like a man I just had to say

"I'm proud of you son will you sit for a while?"

He shook his head and he said with a smile

"What I'd really like to do is to borrow the car keys

I'll 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 comin' home? I don't know when

We'll get together then son

You know we'll have a good time then

Well I've long since retired my child 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"

He said the new job's a hassle and the kid's got the flu

But it's so nice talking to you dad

It's so nice talking to you

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me

My boy's a lot like me my boy's a lot like me

And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and the man in the moon

When you comin' home? I don't know when

We'll get together then son

You know we'll have a good time then

We'll get together then son

You know we'll have a good time then
