Don't Cry Joni |
| Joni was the girl who lived next door |
| I’ve known her, I guess, ten years or more |
| Joni wrote me a note one day |
| And this is what she had to say |
| (Jimmy, please say you’ll wait for me) |
| (I'll grow up someday you’ll see) |
| (Saving all my kisses just for you) |
| (Signed with love forever true) |
| Slowly I read her note once more |
| I went over to the house next door |
| Her teardrops fell like rain that day |
| When I told Joni what I had to say |
| Joni, Joni please don’t cry |
| You’ll forget me by and by |
| You’re just fifteen, I’m twenty-two |
| And Joni, I just can’t wait for you |
| Soon I left our little home town |
| Got me a job and tried to settle down |
| But those words kept haunting my memory |
| The words that Joni wrote to me |
| (Jimmy, please say you’ll wait for me) |
| (I'll grow up someday you’ll see) |
| (Saving all my kisses just for you) |
| (Signed with love forever true) |
| I packed my clothes and I caught a plane |
| I had to see Joni, I had to explain |
| How my heart was filled with her memory |
| And ask my Joni if she’d marry me |
| I ran all the way to the house next door |
| But things weren’t like they were before |
| My teardrops fell like rain that day |
| When I heard what Joni had to say |
| (Jimmy, Jimmy please don’t cry) |
| (You'll forget me by and by) |
| (It's been five years since you’ve been gone) |
| (And Jimmy, I married your best friend John) |
