My child arrived just the other day
He 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
And he was talking 'fore I knew it
And as he grew, he'd say "I'm
gonna be like you, Dad You know
I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle
and
the silver spoon Little Boy Blue
and the Man on the Moon "When
you coming home, Dad?" "I
don't know when But we'll get together
then You know we'll have a good
time then"
My son turned ten just the other
day He said, "Thanks for the
ball, Dad Come on, let's play
Can you teach me to throw?"
I said, "Not today, I got a lot
to do" He said, "That's
ok"
And he walked away But his smile
never dimmed And said, "I'm
gonna be like him, yeah You know
I'm gonna be like him"
Well, he came home from college
just the other day So 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 then said with a smile "What
I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow
the car keys See you later Can
I have them please?"
I've long since retired My son's
moved away I called him up just
the other day
I 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 the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone It
occurred to me He'd grown up just
like me Yeah, my boy was just like
me
