Leo just finished killing Gidian and he hurried to the hospital to his family. Only one person could go see Piper when baby Chris was born and everybody told him to go in. He went in and held his baby boy Chris.
Weeks later Leo had White Lighter business and he couldn't spend that much time with his family. Before he knew it Chris was walking and talking.
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
10 years after Chris's birth Chris got a baseball from his dad
" Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on lets play, Can you teach me to throw?" Chris asked
" Not today I got a lot to do" Leo said
" Thats ok" Chris said as he walked away still smiling," I'm ganna be like him, yeah You know I'm going to be like him," he said to his brother
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"
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 son
You know we'll have a good time then
12 years later Chris looked like the one from the future, but he was in college, he came home from College, Leo finally wanted to hang out with him since he was now mortal, he fullfilled his destany
" Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?" Leo asked
Chris 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?"
Leo handed him the car keys, Chris had a date with a mortal
Leo was wondering when Chris would hang out with him and have a good time with him
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?"
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 son
You know we'll have a good time then
Leo has retired and both his son's moved away and he called Chris up the other day
"I'd like to see you if you don't mind" Leo said
" I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time, you see the job's a hassle and the kids have the flu, But it's sure nice talking to you
After Leo hung up the phone it occured to him, Chris grown up just like him
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 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
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 son
You know we'll have a good time then
