Jony was the girl who lived next door
I've known her I guess 10 years or more
Jony wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say

'Jimmy please say u'll wait for me
I'll grow up somedayu'll see
Saving all my kissess 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 teardrops fell like rain that day
When i told Jony what i had to say

'Jony Jony please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just 15 I'm 22
And Jony i just can't wait for you

'Soon i left our little hometown
Got me a job and try to settle down
But these words kept on in my memory
The words that Jony said to me

'Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kissess just for you
Signed with love forever true

'I packed my clothes and i caught a plane
Had to see Jony i had to explain
How my hearts was filled with her memory
And asked may Jony if she'd marry me

I ran all the way to the house nextdoor
But things were'nt like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When i heard what Jony had to say

'Jimmy Jimmy please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
Its been five years since you've been gone
Jimmy i married your best friend John'...
