Don't cry Joni - Conway Twitty

Thích bài này lâu rồi, chẳng biết vì lẽ gì, có lẽ do nội dung đơn giản nhưng lại rất thật với đời thường. Ngẫm lại hình như mình cũng đã có những lần như thế thì phải. Ngẫm lại cũng buồn cười và cả tiếc nuối nữa.

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 10 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 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 just 15, I'm 22
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


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 memory
and asked 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 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 5 years since you've been gone
Jimmy I married your best friend John.
