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 talkinand' and'fore i knew it, and as he grew
heand'd say andquot;iand'm gonna be like you dad
you know iand'm gonna be like youandquot;
and the catand's in the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man on the moon
when you cominand' home dad?
i donand't know when, but weand'll get together then son
you know weand'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
he said, andquot;thanks for the ball, dad, come on letand's play
can you teach me to throwandquot;, i said andquot;not today
i got a lot to doandquot;, he said, andquot;thatand's okandquot;
and he walked away but his smile never dimmed
and said, andquot;iand'm gonna be like him, yeah
you know iand'm gonna be like himandquot;
and the catand's in the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man on the moon
when you cominand' home son?
i donand't know when, but weand'll get together then son
you know weand'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the other day
so much like a man i just had to say
andquot;son, iand'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?andquot;
he shook his head and said with a smile
andquot;what iand'd really like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
see you later, can i have them please?andquot;
and the catand's in the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man on the moon
when you cominand' home son?
i donand't know when, but weand'll get together then son
you know weand'll have a good time then
Iand've long since retired, my sonand's moved away
i called him up just the other day
i said, andquot;iand'd like to see you if you donand't mindandquot;
he said, andquot;iand'd love to, dad, if i can find the time
you see my new joband's a hassle and kids have the flu
but itand's sure nice talking to you, dad
itand's been sure nice talking to youandquot;
And as i hung up the phone it occurred to me
heand'd grown up just like me
my boy was just like me
and the catand's in the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man on the moon
when you cominand' home son?
i donand't know when, but weand'll get together then son
you know weand'll have a good time then
