CATS IN THE CRADLEby Harry Chapin

My child arrived just the other dayHe came to the world in the usual wayBut there were planes to catch and bills to payHe learned to walk while I was awayAnd he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as hegrewHe'd say "I'm gonna be like you, DadYou know I'm gonna be like you"

chorusAnd the cafs in the cradle and the silver spoonLittle boy blue and the man on the moonWhen you comin'home, DadI don't know when, but we'll get together thenYou know we'll have a good time thenMy son turned ten just the other dayHe said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let'splay

Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not todayI got a lot to do", he said, "That's okAnd he walked away but his smile neverdimmedAnd said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeahYou know I'm gonna be like him" chorus

Well, he came from college just the other daySo much like a man I just had to say"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while"He shook his head and said with a smile"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the carkeysSee you later, can I have them please" chorus

I've long since retired, my son's moved awayI called him up just the other dayI said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind*He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time

You see my new job's a hassle and kids have thefluBut it's sure nice talking to you, DadIt's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to meHe'd grown up just like meMy boy was just like me chorus

SIMPLE GIFTSby Joseph Brackett
