[00:00.00]Matthew - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
[00:03.66]Written by：John Denver/Lee Holdridge/Milton Okun
[00:07.32]Had an uncle named Matthew
[00:12.02]He was his father's only boy
[00:16.36]Born just South of Cobly Kansas
[00:20.46]He was his mother's pride and joy
[00:22.90]Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
[00:28.01]Love is just the way to live and die
[00:32.30]Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
[00:36.40]And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
[00:41.53]And all the stories that he told me
[00:45.80]Back when I was just a lad
[00:49.77]All the memories that he gave me
[00:54.37]All the good times that he had
[00:58.80]Growin' up a Kansas farmboy
[01:03.17]Life was mostly havin' fun
[01:07.44]Ridin' on his Daddy's shoulders
[01:11.40]Behind a view beneath the sun
[01:13.61]Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
[01:18.21]Love is just the way to live and die
[01:22.71]Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
[01:26.61]And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
[01:31.75]Well I guess there were some hard times
[01:36.09]And I'm told some years were lean
[01:40.05]They had a storm in forty seven
[01:44.30]A twister came and stripped them clean
[01:48.46]He lost the farm and lost his family
[01:52.75]He lost the wheat and lost his home
[01:57.31]But he found a family Bible
[02:01.55]Faith as solid as a stone
[02:03.76]Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
[02:08.47]Love is just the way to live and die
[02:12.94]Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
[02:16.80]And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
[02:21.84]So he came to live at our house
[02:25.91]And he came to work the land
[02:30.04]He came to ease my Daddy's burden
[02:34.94]And he came to be my friend
[02:39.05]So I wrote this down for Matthew
[02:43.28]And it's for him the song is sung
[02:47.17]Ridin' on his Daddy's shoulders
[02:51.91]Behind a mule beneath the sun
[02:54.13]Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
[02:59.02]Love is just the way to live and die
[03:03.30]Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
[03:07.63]And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
[03:10.15]Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on
[03:14.81]Love is just the way to live and die
[03:19.30]Gold is just a windy Kansas wheat field
[03:23.28]And blue is just a Kansas summer sky
