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
