There were planes to catch, bills to pay
A E
He learned to walk while i was away
D
He was talking 'fore i knew it and when he could, he said
G E
"I'm gonna be like you, dad,
G E
You know i'm gonna be like you"
CHORUS
E G
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

Little boy blue and a man on the moon

When you comin' home son, I don't know when

We'll get together then,
G E
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
A E
He said "Thanks for the ball dad, come on, let's play
E G
Could you teach me to throw?", I said "Not today

D G
He walked away with a smile on his face, he said
E
"I'm gonna be like him, yeah,
G E
you know I'm gonna be like him"
CHORUS
E G
The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon

So much like a man I just have to say

I'm proud of you, could you sit for a while

What I'm feeling like, dad, is to borrow the car keys
G E
