Conway Twitty - Don't Cry Joni lyrics

Woman: 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. Man: 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. Woman: 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. Man: 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. 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 out 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. Woman: 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. Man: I packed my clothes and I caught a plane And I had to see Joni. I had to explain, How my heart was filled with her memory And ask my Joni if she 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. Woman: 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.
