Don't Cry Joni
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
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 some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true
Slowly I read her note once more
Then 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 15 I'm 22
And Joni I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little hometown
Got me a job and try to settle down
But these words kept pounding my memory
The words that Joni said to me
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
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 memories
And ask my Joni if she'd marry me
I run 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 gone
Jimmy I married your best friend Jone
琼妮别哭
吉米，请说你会等我
要知道有一天我会长大的
我会为你保留我所有的吻
那是爱的印记永无虚假
琼妮是邻家的女孩
我认识她已经十余年了
有一天琼妮写了张纸条给我
她对我说
吉米，请说你会等我
要知道有一天我会长大的
我会为你保留我所有的吻
那是爱的印记永无虚假
我再次把她的信仔细读了一遍
然后我来到了隔壁她家
那天的她泪如雨下
当我对琼妮说了不得不说的话
琼妮，琼妮，请不要哭
你不久就会忘记我
你现在才15岁而我已经22岁了
琼妮，我想我不能等你
很快我就离开了家乡小镇
找份工作，试图安定下来
但是这些话却始终萦绕心头
这些话是琼妮对我说的
吉米，请说你会等我
要知道有一天我会长大的
我会为你保留我所有的吻
那是爱的印记永无虚假
我收拾好衣物，乘上了飞机
我要见到琼妮并向她解释
关于她的记忆已经占据了我整个心灵
我还请我的琼妮嫁给我
我径直跑到了她的家
但事情却不像从前那样
那天的我泪如雨下
当我听见琼妮不得不说的话
吉米，吉米请别哭
你很快就会忘记我
从你离开到现在已经五年了
我已经嫁给了你的好朋友约翰
