歌词
Back in a 41' you met a brown-eyed boy
从前，你遇到了一个棕瞳男孩
Who called you pretty
他夸赞你的美貌
He’d walk every day' couple miles out of his way
他每日愿意绕很多路
To hold your hand and keep you company
只为牵起你的手，陪伴在你身旁
Your mama said' don’t call it love at 14
你的妈妈说别在青春懵懂期谈情说爱
But sittin’ on that front porch swing
但是当你与他一起坐在门前的秋千上时
He gave you his picture in a locket
他将他的照片放入一个檀木小盒里一起赠予你
That you wore around your neck
他帮你将它挂在你的天鹅颈上
Left it right beside your heart
垂下来正好落在你的心头左边
So you would not forget
这样你就永远不会忘记
The way it felt when he held your hand
他牵起你手时如触电般的感觉
And you swore that you would never take it off
你暗自发誓，你一辈子也不会将它拿下
And the butterflies you felt said it all
你内心顿时感到莺歌燕舞
You were falling for the boy inside your locket
你为小盒内照片上的那个男孩沉沦了
Back in a 43' the brown-eyed boy went overseas
后来啊，他要去前线战斗
And had to leave town for a little while
不得不暂时离开你们一起生活的小镇
He swore he’d marry you
他承诺，当你长发及腰，我必归来娶你
As soon as the war was through
一旦这场战役结束
You would be his wife
你便会成为他的夫人
Standing in the pouring rain
那天，你站在倾盆大雨下
为的只是当他离开的时候，眼泪与雨水能混为一体，这样哭泣时不会被发现
You cried as you watched him ride away
但是日复一日，他仍未归
But everyday
你所做的只是紧紧握着那只小盒子
You had his picture in a locket
你的确每日都戴着它，未曾摘下
That you wore around your neck
它也一直停留在你的左心房上方
Left it right beside your heart so you would not forget
你似乎还能感受到他薄唇上的余温
The way his kiss tasted on your lips
他不在的时候，你简直度日如年
And everyday felt like a lifetime with him gone
你向上帝祈祷，愿他安全归来
And you prayed that God would bring him safely home
因为你与那个盒子里的男孩向彼此许下过承诺
‘Cause you made a promise
你们一定会一起步入婚姻的殿堂
To the boy inside your locket
过了许久，你们终于团聚
Oh' 60 years you two had together
但是你遇见的，只是他的遗像
But he’s been gone for a couple now
你喃喃自语：“我真希望这只是一场噩梦”
And it breaks my heart to see you struggle to remember
“我每一天，都在诉说对你的思念”
But I’ve been writing all your memories down
“今天，我告诉自己将要放下你”
And I stopped by today
“我翻着以前写满了关于你的笔记本”
To read a couple pages
“不知在另一个世界，你的相貌是否依旧”
Grandma' you sure look pretty
你只是笑了笑
And you smiled that smile
你告诉我，你可能有一段日子要见不到我啦
The one I haven’t seen in quite a while
你对我说你希望我替你保存那个小盒子
And you said to me' I want you to keep
那个曾经你一直戴着，发誓永不丢弃的小盒子
His picture in a locket that I wore around my neck
我曾将它放在左心房，这样我永远也不会忘记
The one I left beside my heart so I would not forget
这世上最深的爱和那个我最爱的男人
The greatest love and the greatest man
他是我这辈子见过最好的男人
I’ve ever known
他在等我回去呢
她对我说，那个棕眼男孩正在家中等我归
But it’s gettin’ time for me to head on home
我不想让他等我太久
She said' that brown-eyed boy is waiting
“我已看到天堂的曙光照耀在我身上”
And I don’t want to keep him long
她离去前，在我耳边说：“我要去陪伴他了”
Heaven is calling
“我要去见那个盒子里的男孩了”
And she said' my heart is longing
For the boy inside your locket
