Don＇t cry Joni

    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
    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
    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
    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'll just fifteen and I'm twenty-two
    And Joni I just can't wait for you
    Soon I left out little home town
    Got me a job and try to settle down
    But these works kept on my memory
    The words that Joni said to me
    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
    I packed my clothes and I called the plane
    I had to see Joni I had to explain
    How my heart was filled with her memory
    And that's my Joni if she married me
    I ran out the way to the house next
    But things weren't like they were defore
    My teardrops fell like rain that day
    When I hear 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
    Jimmy I married your best friend John
