[Verse 1]
My Achild arrived just the Cother day
He Dcame to the world in the Ausual way
But there were planes to catch and Cbills to pay
He Dlearned to walk while I Awas away
And he was Gtalkin' 'fG/F#ore I knew it, Emand as he Em7grew
He'd say "CI'm gonna Gbe likeA you dad
You Cknow I'm gonna Gbe likeA you"
[Chorus]
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 toGgether thAen son
You Cknow we'll have a Ggood timeA then
