《The Deepening Snow》歌词

[00:00:00] The Deepening Snow - Burl Ives

[00:00:08] It's snowing out there in

[00:00:11] The gloaming

[00:00:14] I've sat here and watched

[00:00:17] It all night

[00:00:21] The kids will be thrilled

[00:00:25] When they awaken

[00:00:28] And look at the fields

[00:00:31] Deep and white

[00:00:35] But the snow makes me

[00:00:37] Think of my darling

[00:00:42] For he hated the snow and the cold

[00:00:49] Now he lies in a grave

[00:00:52] Back in Knoxville

[00:00:56] With a headstone that's

[00:00:58] Just one year old

[00:01:03] Won't you please make the winter

[00:01:07] Go quick Lord so the flowers

[00:01:12] Around him can grow

[00:01:17] For I can't stand the thought of

[00:01:21] My darling lying there

[00:01:26] In the deepening snow

[00:01:31] Little Jimmy climbs up on my knee

[00:01:35] Now says mommie

[00:01:40] What causes the snow

[00:01:45] And I tell the wonderful father

[00:01:52] Who cares for us all here below

[00:01:59] Then I hold him so close and

[00:02:02] I kiss him and he kissing

[00:02:08] Back doesn't know

[00:02:13] That my kiss is meant for her mother

[00:02:20] Lying there in the deepening snow

[00:02:26] Won't you please make the winter

[00:02:30] Go quick Lord so the flowers

[00:02:36] Around him can grow

[00:02:41] For I can't stand the thought

[00:02:44] Of my darling lying there

[00:02:49] In the deepening snow
