Simon And Garfunkel - Cats In The Cradle Lyrics

Send "Cats In The Cradle" ringtone to your cell

A 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 talking before 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 cat's in the cradle and the 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 son.

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 let's play.

Can you teach me to throw?" i said "not today

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

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 cat's in the cradle and the 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 son.

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 he 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 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

But we'll get together then dad.

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 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 job's a hassle and the kid's 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 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

But we'll get together then dad.

We're gonna have a good time then."
