Woman- 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.
Man - 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.
Woman-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.
Man- Slowly I read her note once more
Then I went over to the house next door
Her tear-drops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say.
Man- 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.
Man - 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 Joni said to me.
Woman- Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love forever true.
Man - I packed my clothes and I caught a plane
and I had to see Joni. I had to explain,
how my heart was filled with her memory
and ask 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 tear-drops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say.
Woman- 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.
This
song is about this girl who likes this boy, who is also her neighbor. She wrote
him a love note, but he rejected her. But in the end, the boy realizes that he
actually likes this girl as well, but it was too late.
This song’s plot is about 15-years old girl (Joni)
who develops a crush on a 22 years old neighbor of her family (Jimmy). Despite
Joni begging in love letter to Jimmy to please say you will wait for me, so
that they may someday get married and pleading fidelity in the meantime (saving
all my kisses just for you, signed with love forever true). Jimmy goes over to
Joni’s house to explain their age differences and that he needs to find
suitable wife now, Joni is brought to tears with his realization.
Later, in this song, Jimmy moves
away and tries to find the women in his dreams, but Joni’s words (jimmy please
say you’ll wait for me, I’ll grow up someday you’ I’ll see) are burned into his
mind. Five years pass, and Jimmy realize that Joni, although seven years his
juniors- may be the girl he was looking for all along. Jimmy decides to go back
to his hometown, look up Joni and try to start a relationship, only to realize
his own heartbreak, Joni has married Jimmy’s best friend, John.
Don’t
cry Joni...
Have
you ever wanted something or someone to love you so badly, but love is
unrequited? You gave all your heart to that person, but your love is
unreturned? You love them, and waited for them with all of the devotion that
you have. You wait and wait, and nothing happens, and then, one day. You
stopped hoping, though you continued loving.
Time pass by. You stopped waiting
anymore. You feel numb, you’re hurting inside and you desperately need to move
on, and decided that it’s all right. It doesn’t matter anymore. If the person
you love doesn’t return your feelings, you think it’s time to let someone else.
Someone else who has been waiting for you to let you into their life for almost
as long as you wait for the one you loves to return your feelings.

Age doesn’t matter when it comes to love.
Some people think that young people cannot love truly, that young people are
just playing with love. Age is not basic when it comes to love, for the heart
doesn’t age with time.
“Jimmy?”
She said. “She’s all grown up. A beautiful girl. The girl I’ve known
for so many years. She has a black straight hair, her lips was red like rose.
“Yes” I smiled
“You’re back” her
voice was sounded so cold.
“Yes I’m happy to see you”
She
nodded. “You want to come in?” she
asked.
“Wait,
Joni... I came back for you” i told her. “I
miss you and I’m always thinking about you” I held her soft hands but she
pulled her hand away.
Suddenly
a small little voice called from inside the house.
“Mama” she said.
“Your daughter?” i
frowned.
“Jimmy... I’m happy to see you. I’m
happy that you are a successful man now. You’re star and a good actor. I always
see you in television.” She smiled, bitterly, “but we can’t be together.”
“You are married?”
She nodded
“Yes...” she answered.
“Oh no...” my
heart said pain.
My
tear drop like a rain in front of her...
“Jimmy, please don’t cry... besides you can forget me too as what you told me
before. It’s been five years since you left. Jimmy, I married your best
friend.”
“What did you say? John? You married
him?”
“I married John 3 years after you left.”
“Dammam..!” I
punched the door of her house.
“Jimmy!” she
shouted
“Where is he? I trusted him!” I
enter the house.
“John! John!” the
child cried, when she hears my voice.
“Joni... Tell me” say
Jimmy
“Jimmy, John not here. He is working.”
“Joni... tells me. It’s painful to me to
see you with John and with this little girl.”
