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.
Male:
Joni was a 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:
Female:
"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."
Male:
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 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:
Female:
"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."
Male:
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 hear what Joni had to say:
Female:
"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."
