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
Joanie, Joanie, please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen, I'm twenty -two
And Joanie, I just can't wait for you
Soon I left our little hometown
Got me a job and tried to settle down
But her words kept haunting my memory
The words that Joanie 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 Joanie, I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And asked my Joanie if she'd marry me
I ran all the way to the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joanie had to say
Jimmy, Jimmy, please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
It's been five years since
Jimmy, I married your best friend, John you
