Conway Twitty - Joanie lyrics

Your rating:

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

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 15 and I'm 22

And Joanie I just can't wait for you



Soon I left our little home town

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 ask 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 5 years since you've been gone

Jimmy I married your best friend John
