Genre:Country
Her: 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
Him: Joni was a 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
Her: 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
Him: Slowly I read
her note once more
Then 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 these words kept
haunting my memory
The words that
Joni said to me
Her: 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
Him: 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
Her: 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
