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

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"

Harry Chapin's Cat's in The Cradle gives me goosebumps every everytime I listen to it and sometimes it makes tears falling from my eyes too. My father was murdered less than a month and a half before I was born, so I never meet him. I was raised by my maternal grandfather, but he passed away on September 19, 2022. Next day 19 will be 5 months. God stays with us all.

No father with sons can ever deny this song. I am 77 now, and my sons are 57 and 55. They are just like me—the good, the bad, and the ugly. To all fathers who read this—GIVE THEM YOUR TIME !!!!!

I was a military dad to 4 kids 30 years ago. They grew up without me. Now they're better parents than I ever was. Tears still run down my cheeks. Real men cry.

My mom made my dad listen to this when it came out. I was a little kid. My dad worked like an animal because he thought that was what he should do. Always worked. Never hung out with the boys or drank. My folks are still married now 56 years. I have listened to this AS a father and spent MAXIMUM time with my boys. That is what was important. My own father compliments me on this. My father is a good man. Now that my boys are older...I chase the money a bit. My high school wrestler son still kisses me goodnight. That makes me feel like a rock star. Thank you Harry Chapin.
