Don’t Cry Joni (Re-Recorded)

"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"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, please say you'll wait for me

I'll grow up someday, you'll see

Savin' 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 tear drops 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"Jimmy, please say you'll wait for me

I'll grow up someday, you'll see

Savin' all my kisses just for you

Signed with love, forever true"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 meI 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"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"
