Joni was the girl who live(d) nex(t) door

Joni wro(t)e me a note one day
An(d) this◡is what she ha(d) to say
(Joni)
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving◡all my kisses jus(t) for you
Signed with love
Forever true
(Jimmy)
Slowly I read her note once more
Then◡I went◡over to the house nex(t) door
Her tear drops fell li(k)e rain tha(t) day
When◡I tol(d) Joni what◡I ha(d) to say
(Jimmy)
Joni, Joni please don'(t) cry
You'll forge(t) me by◡an(d) by
You're jus(t) fifteen
I'm twenty two
An(d) Joni I jus(t) can't wait for you
(Jimmy)
Soon◡I left our little home town
Go(t) me a job an(d) trie(d) to settle down
Bu(t) these words kept haunting my memory
The words tha(t) Joni sai(d) to me
(Joni)
Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving◡all my kisses jus(t) for you
Signed with love
Forever true
(Jimmy)

I ha(d) to explain
How my heart was filled
With her memory
And◡as(k) my Joni if she'(d) marry me
(Jimmy)
I ran◡all the way
To the house nex(t) door
Bu(t) things weren'(t) like they were before
My tear drops fell li(k)e rain tha(t) day
When◡I hear(d) wha(t) Joni ha(d) to say
(Joni)
Jimmy, Jimmy please don'(t) cry
You'll forge(t) me by◡an(d) by
It's been five years since◡you've been gone
