《Dear Ivan》歌词

[00:00:00] Dear Ivan

[00:00:01] You don't know me

[00:00:11] And I don't know you

[00:00:19] But I sure would

[00:00:22] Like to meet you

[00:00:25] Yes sir I'd like to walk up

[00:00:26] And shake your hand and

[00:00:28] Look you straight in the eye

[00:00:29] And tell you that I haven't got

[00:00:32] One thing in this world against you

[00:00:37] I know that the

[00:00:38] Heads of our government

[00:00:40] Seem to have problems getting

[00:00:42] Together to talk things over

[00:00:47] But I got a feeling if you and I

[00:00:49] Could just sit down and talk

[00:00:51] Not as representatives of

[00:00:53] Anybody's government but just

[00:00:55] Two plain ordinary human beings

[00:01:00] I feel that we might think

[00:01:02] A great deal alike

[00:01:06] I'm an entertainer now Ivan

[00:01:10] I used to be a farmer just like you

[00:01:16] I got a wife and three kids

[00:01:20] And this may sound a

[00:01:21] Little unpatriotic but to me

[00:01:24] These are more important than

[00:01:26] The heads of anybody's government

[00:01:31] A few years back

[00:01:32] You and I both left the farm

[00:01:34] And we put on a uniform

[00:01:37] And we were on the same side

[00:01:38] Of the fence you and me Ivan

[00:01:43] And you know I can't help

[00:01:46] But believe that we're still

[00:01:48] On the same side of the fence

[00:01:50] That we both like to see

[00:01:52] A world united in peace

[00:01:57] I'll tell you something Ivan

[00:01:59] I love my land very much

[00:02:03] Oh we got some of the

[00:02:04] Prettiest mountains and trees

[00:02:07] And rivers and valleys

[00:02:08] That you've ever laid eyes on

[00:02:12] And I'm sure you feel the

[00:02:14] Same way about your country

[00:02:17] And I know that neither one of us

[00:02:19] Would like to see the face of

[00:02:21] Our countries blackened with

[00:02:22] The hot breath of anybody's bomb

[00:02:28] You know they tell me that

[00:02:29] Over there you don't believe in God

[00:02:34] But though I've never met you

[00:02:37] I can't help but believe that

[00:02:39] A man who's stood on a

[00:02:41] Crisp fall morning and watched

[00:02:43] The sun rise over his farmland or

[00:02:46] He's planted a small grain of corn

[00:02:49] And seen it grow out of the fertile soul

[00:02:52] Or better than that Ivan

[00:02:54] Held your own baby in your arms

[00:02:59] I know that you know that there's

[00:03:03] A God up there watching over

[00:03:05] Each and every one of us

[00:03:08] Ivan when I put my

[00:03:09] Babies to bed tonight

[00:03:13] I'm gonna say a prayer

[00:03:14] For you and yours

[00:03:17] And if you in your own way

[00:03:18] Will say a prayer for me and mine

[00:03:21] And maybe we can talk our

[00:03:22] Neighbors into doing the same thing

[00:03:26] This will be more powerful

[00:03:29] Than any conference held over

[00:03:31] Any conference table anywhere

[00:03:33] In the whole wide world

[00:03:36] And then maybe we can

[00:03:37] Live as God intended

[00:03:40] Peacefully together

[00:03:42] Yours truly Jimmy Dean
