    DON’T CRY JONI

    Woman-
    Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
    Jimmy please say you'll wait for me I'll grow up some day you'll see
    I'll grow up someday you'll see Saving all my kisses just for you
    Saving all my kisses just for you Signed with love forever true.
    Signed with love forever true.
    Man -
    Man – I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
    Joni was the girl who lived next door and I had to see Joni. I had to explain,
    I've known her I guess ten years or more. how my heart was filled with her memory
    Joni wrote me a note one day. and ask my Joni if she'd marry me
    And this is what she had to say.
    I ran all the way to the house next door
    Woman- but things weren't like they were before
    Jimmy please say you'll wait for me My tear-drops fell like rain that day
    I'll grow up someday you'll see When I heard what Joni had to say.
    Saving all my kisses just for you
    Signed with love forever true. Woman-
    Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry
    Man- You'll forget me by and by.
    Slowly I read her note once more It's been five years since you've been gone
    Then I went over to the house next door Jimmy, I - (married) - your best friend John.
    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 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.
