《Tie That Binds》歌词

[00:00:00] Tie That Binds - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)

[00:00:16] In a room so lonely and cheerless

[00:00:21] Sits a woman all alone

[00:00:28] By her a cradle stands empty

[00:00:34] And o'er it she sobs and she moans:

[00:00:40] "My husband he no longer loves me

[00:00:46] His love and our dear baby died

[00:00:52] I'll leave him at home forever

[00:00:59] And out in this old world abide"

[00:01:05] She packed baby's things in a bundle

[00:01:11] While the tears rolled down her cheeks

[00:01:17] "I never no never would leave him

[00:01:24] If ever a kind word he'd speak "

[00:01:30] Just then the door softly

[00:01:35] Was opened

[00:01:36] A man took the bundle away

[00:01:42] He laid the things out on the table

[00:01:48] And softly to her he did say:

[00:01:55] "One little stocking for you dear

[00:02:01] One little blue shoe is for me

[00:02:07] The baby's wrap and its smallest cap

[00:02:13] We'll keep in memory

[00:02:19] One lock of hair is for you dear

[00:02:25] See how the golden curls shine

[00:02:31] We'll keep a smile while

[00:02:34] She sleeps for

[00:02:39] She is the tie that binds"
