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 I went over to the house next door Her teardrops 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 those words kept haunting my memory The words that Joni wrote 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 teardrops 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) (And Jimmy, I married your best friend John)
