Well A child arrived just the other day
he came to the wold in the usual way
but there were planes to catch and bills to pay
he lerned to walk wile I was away
he was talkin 'for I knew it and as he culd he said :
"I'm gonna be like you dad
you know I gonna be just like you"
the cats i the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man in the moon
when you commin' home dad, "I dont know when
but we'll have a good time then
we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
he said "tanks for the ball dad c'on lets play
could u teach me 2 throw?" I said "not 2day
I got alot do" he said thats okey"
and he walked away with a smile and as he did he said
"I'm gonna be like him,yeah
you know I'm gonna be like him"
the cats i the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man in the moon
when you commin' home dad, "I dont know when
we'll get togeter then
you know we'll have a good time then.
well he came home from collage just the other day
so much as a man I jut had to say
"son I'm proud of you can you sit for a wile?"
he shook his head and he said with a smile
"wath I really like is to borrow the car keys
see you later can I have them please?"
the cats i the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man in the moon
when you commin' home son, "I dont know when
we'll get togeter then dad
you know we'll have a good time then.
now I retierd my son moved away
I called him up just the atoher day
I said "son I'd like to see you if you dont mind
he said " I love to dad If I culd find the time
my new jobs a hazzle and my kid's got the flue
but its nice talkin' to you dad
its sure nice talkin' to you"
and as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
he'd grown up just like me
my boy was just like me
the cats i the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man in the moon
when you commin' home son, "I dont know when
we'll get togeter then dad
you know we'll have a good time then.
