Don't cry, Joni Conway Twitty & Joni Lee

*Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Shine with love forever true"

Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've know her I guess ten years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say (repeat*)

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 fifteen and I'm twenty-two
And Joni I just can't wait for you"

Soon I left out little hometown
Got me a job and try to settle down
But these words keep on in my memory
The words that Joni said to me (repeat*)

I packed my clothes and I called the plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And that's my Joni if she married me

I ran out the way to the house next door
The things were 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 married your best friend John......"

瓊妮，別哭 康威崔提 & 瓊妮李

*吉米，請告訴我你會等我
我總有一天會長大
把我所有的吻都留給你
永遠和愛一起閃耀

瓊妮是位住在隔壁的女孩
我認識她大概有十多年了
有一天，瓊妮寫了張字條給我
這就是她想說的……（反覆*）

我再次慢慢的讀著她的字條
然後，我走到隔壁去
那一天她的淚水像雨般滴落
當我告訴瓊妮我心底的話

"瓊妮！瓊妮，不要哭
妳會慢慢的忘了我
妳才十五歲，而我已二十二歲
瓊妮，我無法等妳"

我很快離開了家鄉
找到一份工作，試著安定下來
但那些話一直在我記憶裡
那些瓊妮告訴我的話（反覆*）

我收拾了衣物，訂了班機
我得見見瓊妮，好好解釋
我的心裡縈繞著她的回憶……
如果瓊妮嫁給了我

我跑過馬路到隔壁房子去
景物如昨
那一天我的淚水像雨水般滴落
當我聽到瓊妮所說的……

"吉米！吉米，不要哭
你會慢慢的忘了我
自從你離去以後，已經過了五年
吉米，我已經嫁給你最要好的朋友－－約翰"
