Anyone know the artist and/or title of the following:

When I first met her she was only three,
And I remember how she'd follow me.
She was always getting in my way
And I still, yes, I still can hear her say:

CHORUS: Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me.
I love you more than I can hardly stand.
Wait for me, wait for me, Johnny, please wait for me.
I'll grow up just as fast as I can.

As we grew older she would always wait,
She'd wait for me by the school-yard gate.
I would yell at her to go away,
And I still, yes, I still can hear her say: CHORUS

And now we're grown up but she didn't wait,
And I’m in love with her but it's too late.
She just married someone else today,
And I still, yes, I still can hear her say: CHORUS
