Don't Cry Joni - Conway Twitty Lyrics

Woman: Jimmy please say you'll wait for me, I'll grow up someday
you'll day you see. Saving all my kisses just for you, shined with love
forever true
Man: 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
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 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, Your just
fifteen, I'm 22. And Joni I just cant wait for you
Man: Soon I left our little hometown, 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 someday
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, 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
Man: 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.
Its been 5 years since you've been gone. Jimmy I married your best
friend John
