Father and Son - Cat Stevens (Lyrics)

[tsugfud]

Whoever wrote this song had to live it.Nobody promised life would be easy. Life is a daily struggle which sometimes seems impossible.
We fall in love, have kids, struggle to make a living...and grow old.
Life is short and one day we wake up and wonder how it went by so fast.

I have never listened to this song without tearing up; first as a rebellious 20 year old, then as a parent, and now as a grandfather. How is it possible that a single song can touch your heart and soul on so many levels over so many years? Thank you Yusef/Cat Stevens. 🤟🙏

I've been listening to this song since the 70s, and now I'm old, and I'm happy.
I've gone from son to father.
Time passes quickly...
Enjoy

I'm now 73...and I wished that id've had a dad to advise, and guide me through my teenage years....and beyond..

[barbarapatocka]

He was the artist whose words could make me cry. As a teenager, he understood my world.

[SoulofAlice]

He really has a quirky style of lyricism. Somehow it all works❤ He was underrated.

[danielr]

Iv listen to this since i was 14. Im 38 now.. it wasnt until recently i understood "your fault".. i thought it was your to blame for being immature.. now i get its misfourtune that your young and dont understand his wisdom. Totally diffrent meaning and i love that about music. You interpret it diffrently as you grow.

[leonardogalotera]

This is the only song that each one of us switch sides in the story as we grow older. Undeniably a pure classic. I’ll never grow old or tire playing and singing this with my guitar.

[Notalwaysrightbutmostly]

Just too sad for all of us that can’t say hi Dad anymore
