Jimmy please say You’ll wait me
I will grow up some day, you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Singed with love forever true
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...................
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 will forget me by and by
You are just fifteen. I am twenty two
And Joni I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little home town
Got one a job and tried to settle down
But these words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joni said to me
Jimmy..............................
I packed my cloths 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
When I heard what Joni had to say
Jimmy please don't cry............
You will forget me by and by
It’s been five years since you've been gone
And jimmy, I marred your best friend john
