Don't cry Joni

Joni says:
"Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true."

Jimmy tells:
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.

Joni says:
"Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true."

Jimmy tells:
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.


Jimmy says:
"Joni, Joni please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen and I'm twenty two,
and Joni I just can’t wait for you."

Jimmy tells:
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.

Joni says:
"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."

Jimmy tells:
I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
and 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 tear-drops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say.

Joni says:
"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."

It's an old song that my dad used to play it frequently. He kept repeating it on a cassette tape while he was driving me and my sister to our school. Then my sister and I have known this song since we were kids. From this song, sometimes it's too late to recover or retrieve things that were let go? Neither one in this song can be blamed though.

Baby, everything between us will never ever be let go! Or even if it is, I will fight for it till I lose my breath. I will die recovering every piece of us and make it up and put it back like the same. Lord Almighty ~ please give me your strength! Amen!
