Joni was the girl who lived next door
I`v known here I guess 10 years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
and this is what she had to say,
Jimmy Jimmy wait for me
Ill grow up someday youll see
savin all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true.
Slowly I read the note once more
then I went over to the house next door,
Tear drops fell like rain that day
when I told Joni what I had to say,
Joni Joni please dont cry
youll forget me by and by
your 15 Im 22
Joni I just cant wait for you.
Soon I left our little town
got me a job and tried to settle down
but these words kept haunting my memory
these words that Joni said to me,
Jimmi Jimmi wait for me
Ill grow up some day youll see
savin all my kisses just for you
signed with love forever true.
I packed my baggs and I caught a plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
how my hart was filled with her memory
and the words the Joni wrote to me.
I ran all the way to the house nexted door
but things weren`t like they were before.
My tear drops fell like rain that day
when I herd what Joni had to say,
Jimmy Jimmi please dont cry
youll forget me by and by
its been five years since you`ve been gone
Jimmi I married your best friend John.
