Lyrics
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
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
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 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're just fifteen, I'm twenty two
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 her 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 me
I ran all the way, to the house, next door
But things weren't like they were, before
My teardrops, 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
