Conway Twitty & Joni Lee

Don't cry, Joni (Video)

(Her:)
(Chorus:)
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"

(Him:)
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 

Chorus

(Him:)
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, 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 

Chorus

(Him:)
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 teardrops fell like rain that day 
When I heard what Joni had to say 

(Her:)
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
