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.
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.
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.
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.
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 someday you'll see.
Saving 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 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.
