Dont Cry Joni
Jimmy please say youll
wait for me
Ill groe up some day youll see
Saving all may kisses just for you
Singed with love forever true
Joni was the girl who lived
next door
Ive known her I guess ten years or more
And his is what she had to say
(Repeat)
Slowly I read her more once
more
The I want over to the house next door
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had ro say
Joni, Joni please dont
cry
Youll forget me by and by
You re just fifteen Im twenty two
And Joni, I just cant wait for you
Soon I left out little home town
Gor me a job and tried to settle down
But these words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joni said to me
(Repeat)
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
I had to se Joni I had to explain
How may heart was filled
with her memory
And ask my Joni if shed
marry me
I ran all the way to the house next door
But things werent before
like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain
that day
When I heard what Joni what
to say
Jimmy, Jimmy please dont cry
You ll forger me by
and by
Its been five years since
youve been gone
And Jimmy I married your
best friend, John
