Verse 1
My child arrived just the other day
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
He was talkin` `fore I knew it
And as he grew he said,
"I`m gonna be like you, Dad,
You know I`m gonna be like you."
Chorus
And the cat`s in the cradle and the silver spoon,
Little boy blue and the man `n the moon.
"When you comin` home?"
"Son, I don`t know when. We`ll get together then.
You know we`ll have a good time then."
Verse 2
Well, my son turned ten just the other day.
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let`s play.
Could you teach me to throw?"
I said, "Not today. I got a lot to do."
He said, "That`s okay." And he walked away and he smiled and he said,
"You know, I`m gonna be like him, yeah.
You know I`m gonna be like him."
Chorus
Verse 3
Well, he came from college just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
"I`m proud of you. Could you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and he said with a smile,
"What I`d really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later. Can I have them please ?"
Chorus
Verse 4
I`ve long since retired, my son`s moved away.
I called him up just the other day.
"I`d like to see you, if you don`t mind."
He said, "I`d love to, Dad, if I could find the time.
You see my new job`s a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it`s sure nice talkin` to you, Dad.
It`s been 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.
