《Cat’s in the Cradle》歌词

[00:00:00] Cat's In The Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:12] My child arrived just the other day

[00:00:15] He came to the world in the day usual

[00:00:18] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

[00:00:22] He learned to walk while I was away

[00:00:25] And he was talking before I knew it

[00:00:26] And as he grew he'd say

[00:00:28] I'm going to be like you Dad

[00:00:31] You know I'm going to be like you

[00:00:36] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:00:39] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:00:42] When you coming home Dad

[00:00:44] I don't know when

[00:00:45] But we'll get together then

[00:00:49] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:01:01] My son turned ten just the other day

[00:01:03] He said thanks for the ball dad come on let's play

[00:01:06] Can you teach me to throw

[00:01:08] I today I've said not got a lot to do

[00:01:11] He said that's Ok

[00:01:13] And he walked away but his smile never dimmed

[00:01:16] He said I'm going to be like him yeah

[00:01:19] You know I'm going to be like him

[00:01:23] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:01:26] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:01:30] When you coming home Dad

[00:01:31] I don't know when

[00:01:32] But we'll get together then

[00:01:36] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:01:47] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:50] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:53] Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while

[00:01:56] He shook his head and said with a smile

[00:01:59] What I'd really like Dad is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:03] See you later can I have them please

[00:02:06] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:02:10] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:02:13] When you coming home son

[00:02:15] I don't know when

[00:02:16] But we'll get together then

[00:02:19] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:02:37] I've long since retired my son's moved away

[00:02:41] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:45] I said I'd like to see you if you don't mind

[00:02:47] He said I'd love to Dad if I can fine the time

[00:02:52] You see my new job's a worry and the kids have the flu

[00:02:55] But it's sure nice talking to you Dad

[00:02:58] It's sure been nice talking to you

[00:03:03] And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me

[00:03:06] He'd grown up just like me

[00:03:09] My boy was just like me

[00:03:14] And the cat's in the crader and the silver spoon

[00:03:17] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:03:20] When you coming home son

[00:03:22] I don't know when

[00:03:23] But we'll get together then

[00:03:26] You know we'll have a good time then
