Jimmy please say you'll wait for me

I'll grow up someday you'll see

Savin' 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 10 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 someday you'll see

Savin' 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
