Don't Cry Joni
Joni was the girl who lived next door
- 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
- Saving all my kisses just for you
- Signed with love
- Forever true
- Slowly I read her note once more
- 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 some day you'll see
- Saving all my kisses just for you
- Signed with love
- Forever true
- I packed my clothes
- And I caught a plane
- 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
- 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
