was sitting in the car yesterday on the way back from work and this song came up in my dad's car.
it's an old, old, old song.. but nonetheless for some reason i've always remembered it. during the long
trips we'd take to malaysia, sitting in the car stuck in one of those endless KL traffic jams.. this song
would play and we'd (my sister and i) always replay it, over and over, singing it even when we were too
young to know what it really meant.
Girl : 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
Guy: Joni was the girl who lived next door
I've known her I guess 10 years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say
Girl : 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
Guy : 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
Guy : Joni, Joni please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
You're just fifteen
I'm twenty two
And Joni I just cant wait for you
Guy : 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
Girl : 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
Guy : 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 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
Girl : 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
unexpectedly this song just brought tears to my eyes.. yes ._. i'm turning into one of those emo wrecks
lately.. even the watoto kids made me cry so much my eyeliner ran all over and i had black streaks on
my eyelid -.- thankfully it was at night and no one really could see lol..
anyways i'm off to do chinese now. ciao everyone. and if you think this blog's getting a bit too personal for
your liking, it's just a space for me to type the thoughts in my head (with some moderation of course) :p don't
think it'd be too appropriate for me to share every single thought i have ;) you guys might get scared.
