歌词
She came to me shortly after Christmas,
我们见面是在一个圣诞节后
Said she hated spoiling New Year's Eve.
她告诉我，她不想搞砸了我的新年
But the truth doesn't wait to come in season
但是那时的我不知道真相
And what we had feared was now believed
当时的不祥预感已成现实
She said she'd leave come Monday morning,
她说她会在周一早晨离开
Catch a plane if I'd split the fair.
希望我可以负担一半的机票钱
She had friends who lived in New York City.
她在纽约有些许朋友
She'd look them up and have the baby there.
或许她可以在那里生下孩子
And now she's alone in New York City,
而现在，她孤零零地呆在纽约市
Living like …Lord,I wonder how.
过着我不敢去想象的生活
An angel in hell in New York City,
她就像坠入了地狱的天使
But I can't think about that now.
我的良心却迫使我不敢去想象
Honey,will you tell him Bible stories
亲爱的，你会给我们的孩子讲圣经中的那些故事吗？
And give him all the love I never could?
会替我照顾好他吗？
And never tell him too much about his daddy
但是啊，千万别告诉他太多他父亲的事啊
'Cause there's not too much to say that's good.
他的父亲真是糟糕透顶呵
He'll have to learn it all from his mother:
一切的一切都要从他母亲那里学到
How to count and say his ABC's.
睁开眼看这个世界
But when you teach him prayers to say at bedtime,
但是你在教他睡前祷告时候
Leave off "God bless Daddy,"won't you please?
就不要教“保佑我父”这一句了罢！
And now they're alone in New York City,
而现在，他们母子孤零零地呆在纽约市
Living like Lord …I wonder how.
过着我不敢去想象的生活
Two angels in hell in New York City,
就像两个坠入地狱的天使
But I can't think about that now.
我的良心却迫使我不敢去想象
I can't think about that now.
我真的不能够...
