Cats In The Cradle
作词 : Harry Chapin/Sandy Campbell Chapin
作曲 : Harry Chapin/Sandy Campbell Chapin
My 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 talkin' '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 on the moon
"When you comin' home" "Son I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"
Well my son turned ten just the other day
He said "Thanks for the ball Dad come on let's play"
"Could you teach me to throw" I said "Not today"
"I got a lot to do" He said "That's okay"
And he walked away
And he smiled and he said
"You know I'm gonna be like him yeah"
"You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home" "Son I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"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
"I'm proud of you could 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 cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' 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 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 talkin' to you
Dad it's been sure nice talkin' 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 cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home" "Son I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home" "Son I don't know when"
"We'll get together then"
"You know we'll have a good time then"
