A child arrived just the other day
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
He was talking before I knew It
And as he grew
He said, "Im gonna be like you, Dad you know Im gonna be like you"
(chorus)
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin home son I dont know when, 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 lets play
can you teach me to throw?"
I said "Not today, Ive got alot to do"
He said "Thats okay"
He walked away and he smiled and he said
"you know Im gonna be like you, dad
you know Im gonna be like you......"
(chorus)
He came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son Im proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What Im feeling like dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
(chorus)
Ive long since retired, my son has moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said "Id like to see you if you dont mind"
He said "Id love to dad If I could find the time.
You see my new jobs a hassle, and the kids have the flu.
But Its sure nice talking to you, dad, Its been sure nice talking to you........"
And as he hung up the phone It had occured to me
He'd grown up just like me, my boy, was just like me..............
(chorus)
Cat Stevens, whose real name is Steven Demetre Georgiou, is a British singer-songwriter born in London on July 21, 1948. Active from the late 1960s until 1978, he then embraced Islam and changed his name to Yusuf Islam, continuing his musical career with a more spiritual approach. Stevens is known for his melancholic and introspective folk-rock melodies, often accompanied by poetic lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, faith, and spirituality. Among his most celebrated songs are "Wild World", "Father and Son" and "Peace Train". The album "Tea for the Tillerman" (1970) is considered a classic of British folk-rock. After his conversion period, Yusuf Islam continued to release music with more religious lyrics, but he has always maintained a refined and poetic musical sensibility.
