This is my first time listening to this song with Conway Twitty and his daughter. What a simple melody I certainly will continue to enjoy this song in the future.
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, ten 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 And 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 15, I am 22 And Joni, 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 Joni said to me "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" I packed my clothes, and I caught a plane I had to see Joni, I had to explain How my heart was filled with her memory And asked my Joni 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 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"
Pretty sure this song is my namesake. I was supposed to be named Nicolette, but i was born right after this song came out, and my mom loved Conway Twitty
To my Joni. Please dont cry. I cant wait you anymore. Im tired i did fought a good fight. The reason why i left you without saying anything is that im dying. If one day you will see this. I just want to say i love you so much. And im sorry i dont have the guts to tell you this. Take care of yourself know that i always watch you from above. See you in my next life.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have this on repeat all day. I hope my bosses don't mind. It's going to be in my ear but then they won't know it except for my tears
My Dad had several Charlie Pride albums. A marvelous voice! Great Singer! Another beautiful rendition of a beautiful Hymn. Thanks for sharing it. God Bless those who had to do with this production!
Me and my brother recorded this ages ago and would play it back and listen to it. He is gone now since 2014 and it's heartbreaking. This song reminds me of him. RIP dear Raymond.
Our English lecturer put this song on in class today for a listening test... My mind was literally blown by the ending 😅😅😅 But still its actually a lovely song❤
I grew up on country music. My daddy and I would sing this song together. I'm 70 years old now. And my Dad's been gone since 02. I still love to listen to it and let the memories flow. Right along with the tears.
