Don't Cry Joni Lyrics

Woman- 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 Man - Joni was the girl who lived next door I've known her I guess 10 years or more Joni wrote me a note one day And this is what she had to say Woman-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 Man- 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 Man- 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 cant wait for you Man - 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 Woman- 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 Man - 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 tear drops fell like rain that day When I heard what Joni had to say Woman- 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
