Letter Edged in Black (黑色的字母) - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]

I was standing by my window[00:00:04]

Yesterday morning[00:00:07]

Without a thought of sorrow or of care[00:00:11]

When I saw the postman coming[00:00:17]

Up the pathway[00:00:20]

With such a smiling face and jolly air[00:00:23]

He rang the bell and whistled[00:00:30]

As he waited[00:00:33]

Then he said Good morning[00:00:36]

To you Jack[00:00:39]

But he little knew the sorrow[00:00:42]

That he brought me[00:00:46]

When he handed me a letter[00:00:49]

Edged in black [00:00:52]

With trembling hands I took the letter[00:00:55]

From him[00:00:59]

I opened it and this is what it said[00:01:02]

Come home my boy[00:01:08]

Your dear old daddy wants you[00:01:10]

Come home my boy [00:01:14]

Your dear old mother's dead[00:01:16]

The last words your mother ever uttered[00:01:28]

Tell my boy I want him[00:01:34]

To come back[00:01:37]

My eyes are blurred[00:01:40]

My poor old heart is breaking[00:01:42]

As I'm writing you this letter[00:01:47]

Edged in black[00:01:50]

Those angry words I wish[00:01:53]

I'd never spoken[00:01:56]

You know I didn't mean them[00:02:00]

Don't you Jack[00:02:03]

May the angels bear me witness[00:02:06]

I am asking[00:02:09]

Your forgiveness in this letter[00:02:13]

Edged in black[00:02:16]
