[ti:Dear Ivan] [ar:Jimmy Dean] [al:Big Bad John - The Early Hits] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.43]His Truth is marching on [00:07.91] [00:11.10]To Ivan Kovanovich USSR [00:13.87] [00:16.81]Dear Ivan [00:17.42] [00:19.09]You don't know me [00:19.93]And I don't know you [00:20.95] [00:22.06]But I sure would [00:22.62]Like to meet you [00:23.49] [00:25.20]Yes sir I'd like to walk up [00:26.76]And shake your hand and [00:28.01]Look you straight in the eye [00:29.48]And tell you that I haven't got [00:31.44]One thing in this world against you [00:33.82] [00:37.78]I know that the [00:38.72]Heads of our government [00:40.09]Seem to have problems gettin' [00:41.95]Together to talk things over [00:43.60] [00:47.10]But I got a feeling if you and I [00:48.88]Could just sit down and talk [00:51.40]Not as representatives of [00:52.89]Anybody's government but just [00:54.54] [00:55.16]Two plain ordinary human beings [00:57.59] [01:00.94]I feel that we might think [01:02.38]A great deal alike [01:03.41] [01:06.76]I'm an entertainer now Ivan [01:08.56] [01:10.26]I used to be a farmer just like you [01:12.21] [01:15.96]I got a wife and three kids [01:18.03] [01:20.34]And this may sound a [01:21.24]Little unpatriotic but to me [01:23.29] [01:24.48]These are more important than [01:26.36]The heads of anybody's government [01:28.26] [01:31.08]A few years back [01:32.27]You and I both left the farm [01:34.04]And we put on a uniform [01:35.51] [01:37.35]And we were on the same side [01:38.60]Of the fence you and me Ivan [01:40.16] [01:43.52]And you know I can't help [01:46.13]But believe that we're still [01:48.69]On the same side of the fence [01:50.68]That we would both like to see [01:52.14]A world united in peace [01:53.83] [01:57.27]I'll tell you some Ivan [01:58.40] [01:59.90]I love my land very much [02:01.67] [02:03.51]Oh we got some of the [02:04.59]Prettiest mountains and trees [02:07.09]And rivers and valleys [02:08.51]That you've ever laid eyes on [02:10.17] [02:12.32]And I'm sure that you feel the [02:13.63]Same way about your country [02:15.57] [02:17.19]And I know that neither one of us [02:19.15]Would like to see the face of [02:20.70]Our countries blackened with [02:22.35]The hot breath of anybody's bomb [02:24.42] [02:28.10]You know they tell me that [02:29.59]Over there you don't believe in a God [02:31.64] [02:34.67]But though I've never met cha [02:35.98] [02:37.59]I can't help but believe that [02:39.42]A man who's stood on a [02:41.28]Crisp fall morning and watched [02:43.61]The sun rise over his farmland or [02:45.97]He's planted a small grain of corn [02:48.43]And seen it grow out of the fertile soil [02:51.31] [02:52.78]Or better than that Ivan [02:54.03] [02:54.54]Held your own baby in your arms [02:56.56] [02:59.16]I know that you know that there's [03:02.79]A God up there watching over [03:05.02]Each and every one of us [03:06.59] [03:08.49]Ivan when I put my [03:09.62]Babies to bed tonight [03:11.05] [03:12.84]I'm gonna say a prayer [03:14.12]For you and yours [03:15.16] [03:16.96]And if you in your own way [03:18.63]Will say a prayer for me and mine [03:20.79]And maybe we can talk our [03:22.08]Neighbors into doing the same thing [03:24.02] [03:26.62]This will be more powerful [03:28.68]Than any conference held over [03:30.94]Any conference table anywhere [03:33.14]In the whole wide world [03:34.84] [03:35.99]And then maybe we can [03:37.09]Live as God intended [03:38.86] [03:40.26]Peacefully together [03:41.84] [03:43.32]Yours truly [03:43.87] [03:44.63]Jimmy Dean USA [03:47.09]Dear Ivan - Jimmy Dean
