Don't Cry Joni

Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me

I'll grow up someday you'll see

Saving all my kisses just for you

Shine with love

forever true

Man - Joni was the girl who lived next door

I've known her I guess 10 years or more

Joni wrote me a note one day

And this is what she had to say

Woman-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

Man- Slowly I read her note once more

Then I went over to the house next door

Her tear drops fell like rain that day

When I told Joni what I had to say

Man- 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 cant wait for you

Man - Soon I left our little home town

Got me a job and tried to settle down

But these words kept haunting my memory

The words that Joni said to me

Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me

I'll grow up some day you'll see

Saving all my kisses just for you

Signed with love

forever true

Man - 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 tear drops fell like rain that day

When I heard what Joni had to say

Woman- Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry

You'll forget me by and by

It's been five years since you've been gone

Jimmy I married your best friend John
