很可愛,也帶著小小的心酸
是小女生(Joni)與大男孩(Jimmy)對唱的

歌詞如下:"Don’t cry, Joni"
Jimmy please say you’ll wait for me
I’ll grow up someday you’ll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Shine with love forever true
Joni was the girl who lived next door
I’ve know her I guess ten years or more
Joni wrote me a note one day
And this is what she had to say:
Jimmy please say you’ll wait for me
I’ll grow up someday you’ll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Shine with love forever true
Slowly I read her note once more
Then I went over to the house next door
Her teardrops fell like rain that day
When I told Joni what I had to say
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.
Soon I left out little hometown
Got me a job and try to settle down
But these words keep on in my memory
The words that Joni said to me
Jimmy please say you’ll wait for me
I’ll grow up someday you’ll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Shine with love forever true
I packed my clothes and I called the plane
I had to see Joni, I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And that’s my Joni if she married me
I ran out the way to the house next door
The things were like they were before
My teardrops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say:
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......
這是一首英文老歌,歌詞敘述一位小女孩向青梅竹馬的大男孩傾訴愛意並求他等她長大,但男孩表示他無法等待並離去;五年後,男孩發現自己迄今無法忘懷女孩對他說的話,他飛奔回家鄉,準備向女孩求婚,然而女孩早已嫁人。
老歌有種溫柔的感覺,一種曾經有過但一切都是往事了的淡泊感,歌詞很簡單,純真到讓人心酸。
我很喜歡歌詞"You’ll forget me by and by"之中的by and by,聽起來就像"bye and bye";而Jimmy ran out the way聽起來也像"ran all the way",可以感受到他有多激動XD
愛情可以很小也可以很大,可以很複雜也可以很單純ˇ
