Don't Cry Joni

作詞：     作曲：

Joni was the girl who lived next door 瓊妮是位住在隔壁的女孩
I've known her I guess ten year 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 這就是她想說的

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 我總有一天會長大
Saving all my kisses just for you 把我所有的吻都留給你
Signed with love forever true 永遠和愛一起閃耀

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 tear drops 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 our 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 kept haunting my memory 但那些話一直在我記憶裡
The words that Joni said to me 那些瓊妮告訴我的話

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 我總有一天會長大
Saving all my kisses just for you 把我所有的吻都留給你
Signed with love forever true 永遠和愛一起閃耀

I packed my clothes and I caught a 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 ask my Joni if she marry me 如果瓊妮願意嫁給我

I ran all the way to the house next door 我跑過馬路到隔壁房子去
But things weren't like they were before 影物如昨
My tear drops fell like rain that day 那一天我的眼淚像雨水般滴落
When I heard what Joni had to say 當我聽見瓊妮所說的

Jimmy , Jimmy please don't cry 吉米，吉米，請不要哭
You'll forget me by and by 你會慢慢地忘了我
It's been five years since you've been gone 自從你離開以後，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
