Danny's Downs - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱)[00:00:00]

Written by：Blanchard/Michael Kelly[00:00:01]

On the day little Danny arrived[00:00:13]

His father stared and his mother cried[00:00:17]

They knew his name but they didn't know why[00:00:20]

He looked the way he did[00:00:24]

This happens to other kids[00:00:28]

How in the world are we gonna live[00:00:31]

With a boy like that[00:00:34]

Doctor said Dan's the first bad news[00:00:40]

Second is his heart won't make it through[00:00:44]

It must be fixed unless you choose[00:00:48]

To send him back where he came[00:00:51]

Starve the boy from his name[00:00:56]

Just six short days of pain[00:01:00]

Or maybe less[00:01:02]

Danny's downs but love is up[00:01:08]

It's been known to be more than enough[00:01:12]

For more and more of us[00:01:15]

Danny's downs but love is up[00:01:21]

I'm not that strong his father said[00:01:37]

The dreams are gone the hopes have fled[00:01:41]

Won't be long after he's dead[00:01:44]

We'll try again to find[00:01:48]

The child we had in mind[00:01:53]

Where the hell are those papers to sign[00:01:55]

And the man broke down[00:01:58]

In a private room Danny's mother wept[00:02:04]

As an old Jamaican woman swept[00:02:07]

And not by chance their eyes met[00:02:12]

She said[00:02:15]

God's gifts are only good you know[00:02:15]

And there ain't no love the Lord can't grow[00:02:19]

Aw honey take that boy with ya when ya go[00:02:22]

Back home[00:02:27]

Danny's downs but love is up[00:02:31]

It's been known to be more than enough[00:02:35]

For more and more of us[00:02:38]

Danny's downs but love is up[00:02:45]

It's been eight years since the surgery[00:03:09]

His sister's 5 his brother's 3[00:03:12]

He goes to school and he knows how to read[00:03:16]

He takes the bus home by himself[00:03:20]

Puts his lunch pail back upon the shelf[00:03:23]

And he hugs his mama till she melts[00:03:27]

To the floor[00:03:31]

They're more than a home they're a family[00:03:36]

'Cause blood and bones are still souls you see[00:03:40]

And someone's baby's just another Danny[00:03:43]

And in the guest room in the back[00:03:47]

Lives this old Jamaican black[00:03:50]

'Cause when you give a gift[00:03:54]

God gives it back again[00:03:56]

Danny's downs but love is up[00:04:03]

It's been known to be more than enough[00:04:07]

For more and more and more[00:04:10]

And more and more and more of us[00:04:12]

Danny's downs but love is up[00:04:16]
