Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file



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
this is what she had to say,
(Jimmy Jimmy please wait for me)
(I'll grow up someday you'll see)
(savin' all my kisses just for you)
(signed with love forever true.)
Slowly I read the note once more
then went to the house next door,
Tear drops 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 fifteen I'm twenty two
Joni I just cant wait for you.
Soon I left our little town
got a job tried to settle down
but these words kept haunting my memory
these words that Joni said to me,
(Jimmy Jimmy wait for me)
(I'll grow up some day you'll see)
(savin' all my kisses just for you)
(signed with love forever true.)
I packed my bags and caught a plane
I had to see Joni, had to explain
how my heart was filled with her memory
and the words Joni wrote to me.

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,
(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.)
