Cats In The Cradle-Harry Chapin 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 talkin' '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 comin' home dad?

I don't know when, but we'll get together then son You know we'll have a good time then 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 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 heard this song in a pr0n…
@jamus93 And grandfathers
I miss my father everyday.
My bad. I heard this *song*
I heard this video in 7th grade and I’m now 20yrs old… I fell in love with the song then and listen to it sporadically sense. It’s a great song about how life tends to run past you without you realizing it until it’s too late to change it…

@Stripeddancer lol no its not, its about a father who never spent time with his son
This song is so sad. :c
This song is about cats, and nothing but cats. Children is irrelevant.
My dad left me when i was 2yrs old..i’m 17 now and i’ve only seen ‘em once…i just wish i could have a father figure to look up to, no…i wish i could just have him to look up to
WOW! Irony SUCKS!!!!
@Aaron
I SAW IT ON FAMILY GUY!!!!
Vote up with you looked this up because you heard this song on family guy!
@jerrywcb1 sorry… that kinda ironic though
your kids are part of you so make sure you spend alot of time showing them love and if you have time check out my daddys little girl 222 video …
This song is telling you to take some time and spend it with your kids…They are so very important.
@Taekwondofreak5 i suppose i told him happy birthday…even if he dosent care for me i guess i cant leavem he is my dad after all…
sorry jerry!
this my favorite song
@superdog199 I’m so sorry about your dad passing away. I hope you keep him close to your heart. Always.
@Vulker2123 I feel the same way as you do! I will soon be out on my own as well!
This song is the beautiful story of a father expressing how his child grew up too fast. Quite frankly it scares the living crap out of all the fathers out there who worry about their boys growing up too fast. This is a song for the bondage between a father and his son. Beautiful!
sound like counrty cool music
‘words fail me…..’
wow this song is amazing its capable of making you think of loved ones that you’ve lost or are worried of losing it made me think of my parents who are alive and well but id hate to lose them but it also made me think of my deceased aunt who i miss terribley
