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 was the girl who lived next door. I've known her, I guess, ten years or more. Joanie 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 someday, 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 Joanie what I had to say. 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 these words kept haunting my memory. The words that Joanie said to me. 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. 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 you've been gone. Jimmy, I married your best friend John. Thanks for watching!
