Из альбома: Don't Rock The Jukebox - Country's All-Time Favorites
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 ten 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 and I'm twenty two,
And Joni I just can't wait for you
Man - Soon I left out 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
And I had to see Joni I had to explain,
How my heart was filled with her memory
And ask my Joni if she 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
