(Johnny my love, Johnny my love
Johnny my love, Johnny my love.)

While looking through an old trunk
As kids we'd all times do
We found a yellow notebook
That was nearly torn in two.

That book was grandma's diary
Her name was written clear
And on the first old tattered page
We found these words so dear.

Johnny my love, Johnny my love
you make the whole world shine
You make the whole world shine for me
'Cause you're my Johnny, my love.

We brought grandma's old diary
To show to mom and dad
The way they started crying
Well, it really made us sad.

And when they started singing
The words we'd seen before
I'll never hear a song so sweet
In a million years or more.

Johnny my love, Johnny my love
you make the whole world shine
You make the whole world shine for me
'Cause you're my Johnny, my love.

'Cause you're my Johnny, my love.
'Cause you're my Johnny, my love...
