- Harry Chapin cats int和cradle 歌詞
- Harry Chapin
- My 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 talkin fore I knew it
And as he grew hed say, 'Im gonna be like you, dad
You know Im 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, Dad?'
'I dont know when, well get together then, son
You know well have a good time then'
Well my son turned 10 just the other day
Said, 'Thanks for the ball Dad, come on lets play
Can you teach me to throw?' I said
'Not today, I got a lot to do', he said, 'Thats okay'
And he walked away but a smile never came
He said, 'Im gonna be like him, yeah
You know Im gonna 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, Dad?'
'I dont know when, well get together then, son
You know well 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, Im proud of you, can you sit for a while?'
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
'What Id 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 In The Moon
'When you comin home, son?'
'I dont know when, well get together then
Were gonna have a good time then'
Well Ive long since retired, my sons moved away
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 can 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 occurred to me
Hed grown up just like, my boy was just 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, son?'
'I dont know when, but well get together then, Dad
Were gonna have a good time then'
