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 ten 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 teardrops 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 hometown Got me a job and try to settle down But these words kept pounding 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 memories And ask my Joni if she'd marry me
I run 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 Joni had to say
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've married your best friend Jone
Conway Twitty原名Harold Lloyd Jenkins。他这个艺名来得不寻常,是从地图上找出来的:阿肯色州的“Conway”加上了德克萨斯州的“Twitty”。他先是在摇滚界耕耘,1958年的一曲“It's only make believe”曾荣登榜首。
1964年,Twitty开始了他向往以久的乡村音乐。这首乡村经典“Don't cry Joni”,是1975年Conway Twitty与他的女儿Joni Lee合唱的,出自专辑“The very best of Conway Twitty”。缓缓的节奏,浅显的歌词,叙述了一个男孩和一个女孩忧伤的爱情故事。仔细听完歌曲中男女主角淡淡的叙述,不知你是否和我一样浮现出自己童年的相似回忆。
