[00:00:00] Cat's in the Cradle (摇篮里的猫) - Afternoon Acoustic/Acoustic Guitar Songs/Acoustic Hits

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

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

[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 talkin' 'fore I knew it and as he grew

[00:00:28] He'd say I'm gonna be like you dad

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

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

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

[00:00:43] When you comin' home dad

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

[00:01:04] He said thanks for the ball dad come on let's play

[00:01:07] Can you teach me to throw I said not today

[00:01:10] I got a lot to do he said that's ok

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

[00:01:17] And said I'm gonna be like him yeah

[00:01:20] You know I'm gonna be like him

[00:01:25] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:01:28] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:01:31] When you comin' home dad

[00:01:33] I don't know when but we'll get together then

[00:01:38] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:01:49] Well he came from college just the other day

[00:01:53] So much like a man I just had to say

[00:01:56] Son I'm proud of you can you sit for a while

[00:02:00] He shook his head and said with a smile

[00:02:02] What I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys

[00:02:06] See you later can I have them please

[00:02:10] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon

[00:02:14] Little boy blue and the man on the moon

[00:02:17] When you comin' home son

[00:02:19] I don't know when but we'll get together then dad

[00:02:23] You know we'll have a good time then

[00:02:36] I've long since retired my son's moved away

[00:02:40] I called him up just the other day

[00:02:44] 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 find the time

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

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

[00:02:59] It's been sure 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

[00:03:10] My boy was just like me

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

[00:03:18] Little boy blue and the man in the moon

[00:03:21] When you comin' home son

[00:03:22] I don't know when but we'll get together then dad

[00:03:27] We're gonna have a good time then
