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 cats 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.
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)
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)
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 finnnnd 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.
(Chorus)
