[Verse 1]
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"
[Chorus]
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
You know we'll have a good time then"
[Verse 2]
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 okay"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
It said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
[Chorus]
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
You know we'll have a good time then"
[Verse 3]
Well, he came 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 he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
[Chorus]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home, son?"
"I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad
You know we'll have a good time then"
[Verse 4]
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 the 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
My boy was just like me
[Chorus]
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
"When you comin' home, son?"
"I don't know when, but we'll get together then, Dad
We're gonna have a good time then"

Who is here in 2024?
Meee and terrified
Me
👋
I've listened to this song today for the first time at my work in the office...and after reading the lyrics and what's it all about on Wikipedia, I was about to brake down realising that my son is looking at me this way when I get back home from work and continue staring at the phone and quite often saying to him that I'm too tired to play with him...realising what I'm missing and what might expects me when he grows up. Now I know I have to change some things in life while I'm at the first stanza of this very wise, profound and educational song. 🤔😉
this one will always bring the feels
This song always gives me chills. Don't let the time with the most important people in your life slip by. You can't get it back.
🖤🖤
Fuckin right man! Family is everything!
@@maxkistner5095 Right, friend - who would we be without them? Thanks for your reply.
I feel like we can all relate. The stress of life and parenthood takes a toll.
This is one of my all time favourite
nice
This has been my dad’s top beat forever and now I know why. His father was NOT a good man and dad was a baseball player and he never went to any games. My dad is honestly the most amazing person I know, not just because of his success in life but because his success as an amazing father and overall human. His father taught him everything NOT to do. Thank God every day for a father like him.
❤
Lovely to see people breaking generational trauma
My husband is also an awesome dad.🙏
Possibly the most beautifully poignant and powerfully-haunting song ever written! R.I.P., Harry Chapin -- you had such a luminous soul!!
I'm fortunate enough to have both my parents alive but I have to say, being both a son (and a father to a son) that every single time I miss one of their calls or am too busy to answer this song inevitably plays in my head and it just kills me. I'm really learning not to take things for granted because I don't want regrets to outweigh my happy memories and experiences.
Take advantage of the time you have because tomorrow isn't promised. To my family, I love you all so much. Sorry for being so personal but I've experienced this for years and want to encourage other people to take advantage of what you have while you have it.
❤❤
Love them.grief we can get thru.its the fing regrets that are haunting me!!!! Burned into my head!
Your kids are lucky to have you. I only had one child and she didn’t even make it a year. She’s been gone a year and a half and I’m basically just became a hollow shell.
I heard this song earlier and wanted to see the lyrics and now I’m sad.
Tomorrow isn’t promised. So embrace every day.
No no matter how deeply you love them, or they love you it can all disappear in a heart beat 😢
My dad sent me this song. Said it made him cry. He traveled a lot for work. Like, A LOT. Even when we were on vacation he was still answering emails or whatever it is he did. He even lived away for an entire year when I was in my teens. Now I see him maybe twice a year.
I can't imagine a worse hell. I am currently molding my entire life around my little man. I'm poor as hell but atleast I can spend time with him
I sent this toy daughter this morning and told her it made my eyes leak alot. I traveled from Maryland to Vermont when were growing up in NJ and they grew up so fast on me. Then she moves to North Carolina on me and has her own kids busting her behind to be a great mother. My grand daughter is a spitting image of her as a kid. She sent me a pic of her and I said where did you find that old picture of you I never saw it before and she said that's not me dad that's Aria shes gonna be 8. I hadn't seen them for a couple of years being I was crushed on the job and I couldn't walk for a few years. I had surgery on July 10th and i'm up moving around pretty good considering all my broken bones including my back and neck. My only savior was that it didn't sever my spinal cord or I'd be a quadriplegic as they first believed I spent the first few years in a wheel chair wearing a catheter. But somehow I dodged the bullet and I haven't needed the catheter for a long time and hip surgery eith a total replacement has me walking this month for the first time in years. Better then they know. She keeps telling me to keep fighting it while in therapy. She doesnt realize I really can walk and wait until they get a surprise this X-mas when I knock on their door down in North Carolina without telling anyone I'm coming. Oh crap somethings getting in the eyes again gotta go
I love this song. To me it's like a sad/happy song idk it's hard to describe.
I'm sure your dad would love to chat on the phone evrey now and the
It’s easy to forget how much it created a pit of despair, gnawing at your guts, to be worrying if your next pay check is going to pay the bills or if you can juggle the bills to create a gap when you can afford to buy a new starter for the car or snow suits for the kids.
When we were still young, trying to build a career that will eventually put the kids through college, help pay for weddings, medical bills and provide enough for a retirement, while still putting food on the table and a roof over our heads, our priorities had to be different.
That is why, in many ways, the old style of “traditional” family, worked well. There are many women who would love to be the one to raise their own children, not work a job so they can pay someone else to do it for them. There are many men who can contribute more to their family, by earning an income that provides for their family.
With a more connected, less selfish family structure, the retired grandparents were able to spend time with their grandchildren and fill in the gaps while still having “family” raising the children at all times of the day and night.
To be honest, there have been many times where I have thought “If I only knew then, what I know now.”, if I had the skills to compromise well enough to make it work, it’s the more traditional family structure that I wish we could have provided for our children.
The way the majority of us do it now, we are stuck in the routine of filling each roll, half way. Trying to get more hours at work so we can afford to pay the Day Care and still have money for a family vacation that year, but having to take the cash in lieu of a vacation, just to make ends meet.
I’ve never heard a child, who was surrounded by loving family, complain about not being loved enough or loved well enough, which is what’s at the root of this song. IMHO
The song "Cats in the Cradle" strikes a chord with me as I see myself repeating the same mistakes as my father did. My dad lost his life when I was just 12 due to his job, and I wished things would have been different. I have been fortunate enough not to have gone through what my dad did, but I have repeated his mistake of not being present in my kids' lives.
As a parent, I now understand the importance of balancing work and family time. However, due to the divorce and the distance between us, I have not been able to see my sons as much as I would have liked to. Time flies so quickly, and I always thought that I would soon have the time to be with them more often, but it has not happened.
Life has come full circle now as I see my sons doing what my dad did and what I did. They are busy with their lives, just like I was. But now, I am regretting not having spent more time with them, just like my dad regretted it in his final moments.
Now that my sons are adults, I am always thinking about the mistake I made for not being there for them enough. I understand the impact that my absence has had on their lives, and I am making a conscious effort to be present in their lives now through social media platforms. Although I cannot turn back time, I hope to make up for the lost time and create new memories that we can all cherish.
My experience is a reminder to all of us to prioritize spending quality time with our families, despite the challenges that life throws at us. Please don't let work or other distractions get in the way of creating lasting memories with your loved ones.
❤❤
😢😢😢❤❤❤
Life's priorities when you're young, regrets when you're old.
That's right you treat your parents the same way they treated you when you grow up.
Very difficult to hold back tears....
🖤🖤
All new fathers should be given this song at the hospital... It really makes you think
I miss u papa!! 2 yrs ago n I can't get over it. Wrecked me,lost everything
My family,job.an unspoken bond that nobody will understand. His first born son!
Rest in peace ❤
I chose to not repeat this vicious cycle. I refuse to neglect my future kids like my dad did me over and over while I was growing up. I made that decision and now I have 3 amazing kids that I cherish. I accept the responsibility of loving them. Glory to God
that's it man ❤
Amen
I've been hearing this song since I was a youth, & loved the melody, but never paid attention to the lyrics until just now... Wow... What a powerful story, a lesson many learn too late...
OMG same thing with me too! My mind is 🤯
This song makes me cry…I had my first daughter when I was 18. I was not there for her. I had a second daughter in my early 20s and I was never there for her because of decisions I made before she was born. It’s painful and I’m profoundly sorry to both of them. I wish I could go back and change the past but I can’t. My biggest regret in life is not being there for my daughters. Nothing matters more than being a Dad. Not money, not love, nothing…I have a 3 year old son now. And it’s been amazing. He fills my heart up when nothing else ever could. I’m there for him. I raise him. I can’t be the guy in this song anymore. To all young fathers: don’t be the guy in this song. It will haunt you for the rest of your life. Your child needs you and your time…and you need them, even if you don’t know it.
I am a ferocious wolf, cis female, who has loved some amazing women as rom tic partners, and an adopted son-Grown now, although I never got to meet the miracle of him until he was already 14 and with a past if such deep pain and sorrow.
@@fredvelez6055 JESUS forgives you...
Idk why I listen to this shit makes me cry my eyes out and miss my son so much but I love it.
This song is dear to me as a son who lost his farther it is a song about a father's love for his son and a son that Admires his father but not enough time to express what they mean to each other no words can describe that sense of loss only music can
❤❤
You might like the song:
How Deep the Father's love for us.
It's religious. It poignant, but some folks don't care for religion. I love the song! It's not Catholic ( I'm Catholic) but it's very well done. I to lost my father, & whole family @ age 1, as I was orphaned. Went to stranger that didn't want me but my grandfather black mailed them. He didn't want me, but the strangers wanted my 2 sister's. They didn't want or like boys, but my grandfather told them they couldn't have my 2 sister's if they didn't take me. ( you can imagine how that was for me) you couldn't imagine! But this song is a little sad but beautiful, & powerful to me Ana way.
God love ya! I do in Him.
2024 realizing i turned out just like him
Bro I just wanted to enjoy a funky song I found in GTA. Now I'm all in my feels, I never understood the lyrics
This song always touches my heart. Maybe it's because I never had any kids of my own. Or maybe it's because I could see this happening to me if I did have kids.
this song hits different when you grow up with an absent father...
Great irony, need to engage with children while they are young to build present and future happiness.❤
One of the most devastating songs of all time
I tell my son i love him 20 times a day. I will never miss anything be does unless I have work. I love him more than life itself!
I lost my dad 10 years ago. I had just turned 15. I used to drive around with my best friend blasting this song and she held me while I cried because we both missed my dad. This song will forever memorialize my daddy😣 still makes me cry every time I hear it.
Rest in peace ❤❤
Casey, remember the good times with your Dad, breath deep to enjoy life
I think the song gets sadder when you actually have kids
true
I love money. I’m a miami ass ni99a but this song has given me balance to always give him all the time I can because that’s one thing I can never regret or get back.
This song is about a father who isn't around to see his son grow up. My dad was around to see me and my brothers grow up, but he's not here to see his first-born son turn 50 this year (Dad died in May 2021, five months before I turned 50) or see his grandchildren grow up. No matter how young or old you are, losing a parent hurts, especially if you're not ready to say goodbye.
So true!!
I see these comments and realize how lucky I am to have three sons under five years old.
❤
My father's favorite song, and yet, it's about him. Never met a man so incapable of self reflection in my life. I'm 22 now and want nothing to do with him. When he asked me why, I just played the song and left.
😢 Tell him.
Mf send me this song the only Sunday I couldn't play softball with his team 🙄
I listen to this song and it always makes me cry. I have 2 sons and I was a single mom and spent so much time working all the time, I regret dearly of not spending time with them. I feel alot of guilt and I feel like I'll never get over it.
I'm sorry to hear this maam, and I hope you three get more time together here onwards. If you dont mind, how old are they now?
what a song which really comes true in everyone's life..... and has a very deep meaning
❤❤
😍
Definitely not in everyone's lives. Not even in the majority of people's lives
Used to listen to this in my dad's car on his cassette player now I'm listening to it while watching my son play with his toys music like this is a time machine
i never had a father, so this song always seems empty to me.
My Dad was the truck driver in ever since I was old enough to climb in one of those semis that's all I wanted to be. I wanted to be just like my dad. So in 1983 when I got my license to drive a truck that is when my dad retired and he was always asking me when I was going to come home. Yeah this song kicks me right in the feelers
This song is about a father who isn't around to see his son grow up. My dad was around to see me and my brothers grow up, but he's not here to see his first-born son turn 50 this year (Dad died in May 2021, five months before I turned 50) or see his grandchildren grow up. No matter how young or old you are, losing a parent hurts, especially if you're not ready to say goodbye.
Sadly it comes to us all my friend. I miss my father. This song is so true spend every min you can with your loved ones. No one i promised tomorrow.
I'm so damned lucky. I teach at the school my son attends. I see him every day, and have a very active hand in his education, and will do so until he is a man.
❤❤
This song illustrates that life happens fast life goes by fast so you have to enjoy every moment and enjoy the loved ones while they are here.
This song reminds me of my son,
We spent a lot of time growing up together, and there was a time when we'd gotten older, and I didn't have time for him because of different reasons. One was my car broke down and so many other reasons, now he's gotten a family of his own and so much more going on in his life, I asked if I could come see him and his family, mostly to go fishing with him, because we fished alot when he was young, and I got no reply ,I know it's because of his life schedule, that's ok, because I still love him regardless, and I know he still loves me. It was thru texting about 2 hours ago. I am saddened by him not responding, I do understand, tho. And I will always love my son, even if he stops loving me.
I did a mistake and now my children live without their dad. This song brings me to tears every time. I will never get over this
Love you all! Don’t forget to say hi to your family today even just to check on them! Say hi ❤

I heard Chapin LIVE sing this lyric "He came to the world while I was away".....which actually sounds more appropriate doesn't it!
There is an antidote to this feeling, from the most unlikely of places - Vito Corleone from the Godfather (Part 1):
"Vito to Johnny: You spend time with your family?
Johnny: Sure, do I, Godfather.
Vito: Good. Because a man doesn't spend time with his family, (side glance at Sonny, his Son), can never be a real man"
May God bless HARRY'S memory 🙏👍💖. He has one helluva LEGACY 🙏👍💖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I believe this song the piano man is in purgatory and playing for the dead.
I have no comment...i grew up in the 1960's till now. This music brings back old memories and family that passed away. So many things
❤
The vicious cycle. I turned into my Dad who turned into my Grandfather.
That's the story of many families whose dad works for a living, and it goes from generation to generation.
💔
Song so true to life, real dad brought me in this world and left me with my mom, did nothing! Stepdad raise me, but was abusive to me and mom, but that is life! 65 retired and did good in this life, even with the cards being dealt to me. So be strong people, dont let them get you down! Love the song tho I cry when I sing to it every time. Enjoy this life the best you can!
I remember when my son was little I was a chef I was working long hours I got better Job more money i was off one day boss called me in my son started to cry said i what my daddy my boss said well I said not come in
Haha. Shrek (donkey singing this) brought me here. 😂
My father didn't want much to do with my when I was young and I didn't want much to do with him when I grew up.
mr peanutbutter brought me here

Okay. I don't get it. Kids DO get the flu right?
I remember this song from my early childhood always loved it. Many years later when I was old enough I understood the meaning , every time I hear it I remember the few precious memories of being a kid, getting a bit of time here and there with the old man. I've made sure to get as much time as I can with my Son. He's all grown up now living away and I understand the words again but from the other side. My son loves the song too, I guess he's just like me...
❤❤
It makes the emotions worse once you realize you can properly sing it
The theme of this song is to take time to be a dad.
1st heared this song growing up in belfast as a kid It was in an advertisement on tv about the troubles in Northern Ireland. How the son seen his father gunned down and that young kid grew up just like the gunman. Really hits home this song been with me all my life.
Loved it
❤❤
My father passed away in ‘12 miss him a lot still, I have a son who due to custody issues with his mom I didn’t spend as much time with him as I should have. It was time wasted for both of us, he is 19 now all grown up I’m very proud of him, but now life has taken him away from me, he joined the army and was deployed to Kuwait last may he’ll be gone for a year hope to spend time with him when he gets back, I pray for his safe return.
It's never too late...
This song played in my head all day, so I called my Dad, and then listened to this.
❤❤
I’m so glad I see and work with my dad every day.
THIS SONG IS SCARY ! I LIVED IT !
❤
🖤
Amazing
❤❤
I'll be 72 young in a couple months. This song hits exactly what's going on in most people's lives. Hard piece to hear, especially, when it fits!
Best to ya',,,,!
❤❤
I can’t listen to this without crying or breaking down. This one hurts so bad. It’s so simple. But gut wrenching.

Who this song reminds you of?
@Spiral The Dragon 😍
My dad, when i was 5, i once said to my father or dad "Can you stopping work" because i want to spend a time with him, but he only laugh and say "I can't"
Now, i was 17, i have a big plan to living apart from my parents because i don't want to trouble them, I want to say it to my parents especially my dad, and I can't imagine how he would respond to my plan. I thought it was transition
Follow your heart bro! ❤
@@riskianjai2876 Hey man, did you figure out what to do? Hope you've been doing nice. Have a great day!!
It reminds me of me when I'm asking my dad to play with me and it reminds me of my dad because sometimes he says tomorrow or not today.🥰👏❤️❤️❤️❤️💖💖💖💖💖
Story time. I never knew my father. Found out i was adopted when I was 19. Took years to reconcile. Was gonna call the man who was my “father” the day after fathers day, found out he passed away a day later. Lifes funny like that.

HI EIGTH GRADERS AT LC ITS GEORGE
LC? Which LC? And how three weeks ago?
I go to school where its name is abbreviated into LC
This song helped me immensely. We was going that way. My dad had worked a lot when I was young. However I moved close to where my parents lived to be close to them. My wife had left. I remember talking to my dad about this very song saying I didn’t want this fate w him
My dad just passed and I am sad about that but happy that our ending was very different. These past few years we became very close and friends. Please i urge you to spend time with loved ones. Spend time doing things. I believe you will appreciate that in time I surly did. I am grateful today.
❤❤
For this song i refuse to drive a Truck.
I sent this song to my son just now. We did spend alot of time together his younger days. I remember walking him to elementary school every morning. He's soon to be 20 he's left the nest so I text him daily but sometimes it takes a while for him to respond. I understand he has alot on his plate and I'm actually proud that he's takimg on the world on his own. But he's my first born son, and no matter how many times I tell him, he won't understand how much I truly love him until he has an offspring of his own. God Bless you, Mathew.
❤
As a mother now This song makes me cry every time!!!
in the middle made me come here
always family first 💗
❤❤
When I recieved this notification it brought me back to thinking "I could have called my Dad or other family members one more time"! I could have stopped by to visit more often!. This song can really makes guilt rise in anyone.
Best to ya',,,,!
Every man should hear this song. My husband is a great dad to our son. He always had time for him. Our son is an adult now but we are still there for him.I wish my father was like my husband is to our son. 🥲
I made my Son a priority and we were always together doing fun things all the time. Now he is 14 and doesn't seem to want to do anything with me anymore, doesn't even talk much. What can I do? It breaks my heart, we were so close to the point that whenever I left the house he would yell Wait! then run and give me a hug.
people grow up
@@nato8787 doesn’t mean you have to like it.
@@cassconner6023 yeah i know but you cant make him be like that with you again
Still gets me as a son and as a father
Great and sad
Out of my 50 years of life my Father only told me once he loved me & was proud of me he never said it again he passed 10 years ago glad he told me before he left this world
Rest in peace ❤❤ Let's say it to the ones we love before we go :)

I kept putting off going to see dad...my husband was going to take a couple of days off and drive over there...I'm in houston he and my stepmother live in Mississippi...it's not too far.....we planned on going but then I got the call from my stepsister that he had a heart attack...a million things rolled through my mind I was just about to ask for the hospital and room number but then she said...they couldn't revive him.....I felt an immediate disconnect inside...a feeling I've never felt in my life...god I'll never forgive myself....how could I let so much time go by without going to see him.😢😢😢💔💔💔..why did I do that.😢
Every relationship we begin will end one day. Friends, lovers, family, neglect, abandonment, death are part of the equation. No exceptions. Your recovery could start now but it won't in the past. Make sure to express your love. Be there in the room with those who know you well enough. Be prepared always for the inevitable but love with a full heart. It hurts no doubt about it. You have to love in spite of it.
then!!!!!
Life is too short make time for your loved ones..I just lost my brother yesterday
Rest in peace ❤️ how are you feeling?
Thank you alley9 I'm ok but as I listen to this song my dad never had time for me. I know my brother is in Heaven he as a Christian..thank you God Bless
This song teaches all of us a lesson
true 🖤
That lesson take time to be a dad.
Sad song 😢
;-;
My dad was always there for me even though he had busy nights. He'd find time to play road hockey with us, put up Christmas lights, sit and chat on the patio. He was goofy as heck and joked about everything. Today, I use his example as how I treat my own son.
We always think we have all the time in the world, but children grow fast,especially when you are constantly trying to provide. Assuming that is what is important. Love & time is more important. I’ve met my dad once in 47 years. I promised myself never to be like him.
Except for the part of having kids, it's kinda like me and my dad. We lived apart for 27 years of my life but he tried a lot to come and hang out with me.

Best part about kids adds sustenance
