My Achild arrived just the Cother day;
he Dcame into the world in the Ausual way.
But there were Aplanes to catch, and Cbills to pay.
D He learned to walk while I Awas away.
And he was Gtalkin' 'fore I G/Fknew it. And Em7as he grew Em D
he'd say, "CI'm gonna Embe Blike Ayou, Dad. You Cknow I'm gonna Embe Blike Ayou."
And the Acat's in the cradle and the Gsilver spoon,
Clittle boy blue and the Dman in the moon.
"AWhen you comin' home Dad?" "I Gdon't know when,
but Cwe'll get toEmgetBher thenA, Son. You Cknow we'll have a EmgooBd time Athen."
My Ason turned ten just the Cother day.
He said, "DThanks for the ball, Dad. Come Aon, let's play.
Can you Ateach me to throw?" I said, "CNot today.
I got a D lot to do." He said, "AThat's okay."
And he G walked aG/Fway, but his Em7smile never EmdimDmed.
It said, "CI'm gonna Embe Blike Ahim, yeah. You Cknow I'm gonna Embe Blike Ahim."
And the Acat's in the cradle and the Gsilver spoon,
Clittle boy blue and the Dman in the moon.
"AWhen you comin' home Dad?" "I Gdon't know when,
but Cwe'll get toEmgetBher thenA, Son. You Cknow we'll have a EmgooBd time Athen."
Well, he Acame home from college just the Cother day,
so Dmuch like a man I just Ahad to say,
"Son, I'm Aproud of you. Can you Csit for a while?"
He Dshook his head and he Asaid with a smile,
"What I'd Greally like, G/FDad, is to Em7borrow the caEmr kDeys.
C See you EmlatBer. Can I Ahave them please?"
And the Acat's in the cradle and the Gsilver spoon,
Clittle boy blue and the Dman in the moon.
"AWhen you comin' home Son?" "I Gdon't know when,
but Cwe'll get toEmgetBher thenA, Dad. You Cknow we'll have a EmgooBd time Athen."
