《Dear Ivan》歌词

[00:03:53] Dear Ivan

[00:03:53] You don't know me

[00:03:53] And I don't know you

[00:03:53] But I sure would

[00:03:53] Like to meet you

[00:03:53] Yes sir, I'd like to walk up

[00:03:53] And shake your hand and

[00:03:53] Look you straight in the eye

[00:03:53] And tell you that I haven't got

[00:03:53] One thing in this world against you

[00:03:53] I know that the

[00:03:53] Heads of our government

[00:03:53] Seem to have problems getting

[00:03:53] Together to talk things over

[00:03:53] But I got a feeling if you and I

[00:03:53] Could just sit down and talk

[00:03:53] Not as representatives of

[00:03:53] Anybody's government but just

[00:03:53] Two plain ordinary human beings

[00:03:53] I feel that we might think

[00:03:53] A great deal alike

[00:03:53] I'm an entertainer now, Ivan

[00:03:53] I used to be a farmer just like you

[00:03:53] I got a wife and three kids

[00:03:53] And this may sound a

[00:03:53] Little unpatriotic, but to me

[00:03:53] These are more important than

[00:03:53] The heads of anybody's government

[00:03:53] A few years back

[00:03:53] You and I both left the farm

[00:03:53] And we put on a uniform

[00:03:53] And we were on the same side

[00:03:53] Of the fence, you and me, Ivan

[00:03:53] And you know, I can't help

[00:03:53] But believe that we're still

[00:03:53] On the same side of the fence

[00:03:53] That we both like to see

[00:03:53] A world united in peace

[00:03:53] I'll tell you something, Ivan

[00:03:53] I love my land very much

[00:03:53] Oh, we got some of the

[00:03:53] Prettiest mountains and trees

[00:03:53] And rivers and valleys

[00:03:53] That you've ever laid eyes on

[00:03:53] And I'm sure you feel the

[00:03:53] Same way about your country

[00:03:53] And I know that neither one of us

[00:03:53] Would like to see the face of

[00:03:53] Our countries blackened with

[00:03:53] The hot breath of anybody's bomb

[00:03:53] You know, they tell me that

[00:03:53] Over there, you don't believe in God

[00:03:53] But though I've never met you

[00:03:53] I can't help but believe that

[00:03:53] A man who's stood on a

[00:03:53] Crisp fall morning and watched

[00:03:53] The sun rise over his farmland or

[00:03:53] He's planted a small grain of corn

[00:03:53] And seen it grow out of the fertile soul

[00:03:53] Or better than that, Ivan

[00:03:53] Held your own baby in your arms

[00:03:53] I know that you know that there's

[00:03:53] A God up there watching over

[00:03:53] Each and every one of us

[00:03:53] Ivan, when I put my

[00:03:53] Babies to bed tonight

[00:03:53] I'm gonna say a prayer

[00:03:53] For you and yours

[00:03:53] And if you in your own way

[00:03:53] Will say a prayer for me and mine

[00:03:53] And maybe we can talk our

[00:03:53] Neighbors into doing the same thing

[00:03:53] This will be more powerful

[00:03:53] Than any conference held over

[00:03:53] Any conference table anywhere

[00:03:53] In the whole wide world

[00:03:53] And then maybe we can

[00:03:53] Live as God intended

[00:03:53] Peacefully, together

[00:03:53] Yours truly, Jimmy Dean
