《Cats in the Cradle》歌词

[00:00:00] Cats in the Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Tom Chapin

[00:00:08] My child arrived just the other day

[00:00:11] He came to the world in the usual way

[00:00:13] But there were planes to catch and bills to pay

[00:00:17] He learned to walk while I was away

[00:00:19] And he was talking 'fore and as he grew

[00:00:22] He'd say I'm gonna be like you dad

[00:00:25] You know I'm gonna be like you

[00:00:29] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:00:33] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:00:36] When you coming home

[00:00:37] I don't know when but we'll get together then

[00:00:41] You gonna have a good time then

[00:00:52] My son turned ten just the other day

[00:00:55] He said thanks for the ball dad come on let's play

[00:00:58] Can you teach me to throw I said not today

[00:01:00] I got a lot to do he said that's ok

[00:01:04] And he walked away but his smile never dimmed

[00:01:07] And said I'm gonna be like him yeah

[00:01:10] You know I'm gonna be like him

[00:01:14] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:01:17] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:01:20] When you coming home

[00:01:22] I don't know when but we'll get together then

[00:01:26] You gonna have a good time then

[00:01:36] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:39] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:42] Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while

[00:01:45] He shook his head and he said with a smile

[00:01:48] What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys

[00:01:51] See you later can I have them please

[00:01:55] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:01:58] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:02:01] When you coming home

[00:02:02] I don't know when but we'll get together then my son

[00:02:07] You gonna have a good time then

[00:02:09] And it's all

[00:02:16] Ah I've long since retired my son's moved away

[00:02:30] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:33] I said I'd like to see you if don't mind

[00:02:37] He said I'd love to daddy if I can find a time

[00:02:41] You see my new jobs a hassle and the kids are the flu

[00:02:45] But its sure nice talking to you dad

[00:02:48] Its been sure nice talking to you

[00:02:52] And as I hung up the phone it occured to me

[00:02:56] He'd grown up just like me

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

[00:03:06] And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:03:10] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:03:13] When you coming home I don't know when

[00:03:17] But well get together then dad

[00:03:20] You know we'll gonna good time then
