Don't cry, Joni Conway Twitty & Joni Lee
*Jimmy please say you'll wait for me 吉米,請告訴我你會等我
I'll grow up someday you'll see 總有一天妳會看到我長大
Saving all my kisses just for you 把我所有的吻都留給你
Signed with love forever true" 並且簽上"永恆的愛"記號
Joni was the girl who lived next door 瓊妮是位住在隔壁的女孩
I've know her I guess ten years or more 我認識她大概有十多年了
Joni wrote me a note one day 有一天,瓊妮寫了張字條給我
And this is what she had to say (repeat*) 這就是她想說的……(反覆*)
Slowly I read her note once more 我再次慢慢的讀著她的字條
Then I went over to the house next door 然後,我走到隔壁去
Her teardrops fell like rain that day 那一天她的淚水像雨般滴落
When I told Joni what I had to say當我告訴瓊妮我心底的話
"Joni, Joni please don't cry "瓊妮!瓊妮,不要哭
You'll forget me by and by 妳會慢慢的忘了我
You're just fifteen and I'm twenty-two 妳才十五歲,而我已二十二歲
And Joni I just can't wait for you" 瓊妮,我無法等妳"
Soon I left out little hometown 我很快離開了家鄉
Got me a job and try to settle down 找到一份工作,試著安定下來
But these words keep on in my memory 但那些話一直在我記憶裡
The words that Joni said to me (repeat*) 那些瓊妮告訴我的話(反覆*)
I packed my clothes and I called the plane 我收拾了衣物,訂了班機
I had to see Joni, I had to explain 我得見見瓊妮,好好解釋
How my heart was filled with her memory 我的心裡縈繞著她的回憶……
And that's my Joni if she married me 如果瓊妮嫁給了我
I ran out the way to the house next door 我跑過馬路到隔壁房子去
The things were like they were before 景物如昨
My teardrops fell like rain that day 那一天我的淚水像雨水般滴落
When I heard what Joni had to say 當我聽到瓊妮所說的……
"Jimmy, Jimmy please don't cry "吉米!吉米,不要哭
You'll forget me by and by 你會慢慢的忘了我
It's been five years since you've been gone 自從你離去以後,已經過了五年
Jimmy, I married your best friend John......" 吉米,我已經嫁給你最要好的朋友--約翰"
