(女) 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

 

(男)Joni was the girl who lived next door

I’ve known her I guess ten years or more

Joni wrote me a note one day

And this is what she had to say

 

(女)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

 

(男)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

 

(男)Joni Joni please don’t cry

You’ll forget me by and by

You’ll just fifteen and I’m twenty-two

And Joni I just can’t wait for you

 

(男)Soon I left our little home town

Got me a job and tried to settle down

But these works kept haunting my memory

The words that Joni said to me

 

(女)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

 

(男)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’d married me

 

(男)I ran all the way To the house next door

But things weren’t like they were before

My teardrops fell like rain that day

When I hear what Joni had to say

 

(女)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

 

 

       (女)吉米,请说你会等我

    等到我长大的一天

  为你保留那象征爱的吻

     永无虚假

  

  (男)joni是那个邻家女孩

  我认识她十几年啦

  直到有一天joni写信给我

  那是发自她内心的表白

  

  (女)吉米,请说你会等我

  等到我长大的一天

  只为你保留那象征爱的吻

  永无虚假

  

  (男)我把她的信慢慢地读了又读

  然后我来到她的家

  她那天泪如雨注

  当我告诉joni那些必须要说的话

  

  (男)joni,joni,请不要哭泣

  你会慢慢将我忘记

  你仅仅十五岁而我却已经二十二

  joni我想我真的不能等你

  

  (男)不久我离开了我们家乡的小镇

  找了份工作准备安定下来

  但是那些话语时常在我脑海浮现

  那些joni曾经对我说过的话

  

  (女)吉米,请说你会等我

  等到我长大的一天

  只为你保留那象征爱的吻

  永无虚假

  

  (男)我收拾了行李订了张机票

  我必须见到joni告诉她  

  在我心里全部是关于她的记忆

       并且要告诉joni做我的新娘

  

  (男)我一路跑到她的家

  但是事情已经和以前不一样啦

    我的泪如雨注

  当我听到她不得不说的话

  

  (女)吉米,吉米,请不要哭泣

  你会慢慢将我忘记

  从你离开到现在已经五年

  我嫁给了你最好的朋友,约翰 

  

 Conway Twitty是Harold Lloyd Jenkins的艺名,这个艺名是Harold Lloyd Jenkins从地图上找出来的:阿肯色州的“Conway”加上了德克萨斯州的“Twitty”。Harold Lloyd Jenkins在摇滚界耕耘,1958年的一曲“It's only make believe”曾荣登榜首。

        1964年,Twitty开始了他向往以久的乡村音乐。这首乡村经典“Don't cry Joni”,是1975年Conway Twitty与他的女儿Joni Lee合唱的,出自专辑“The very best of Conway Twitty”。

        很简单很质朴的歌词,很美好很伤感的故事,没有华丽的辞藻,却总能让人感动,乡村音乐就是这样。这是一首乡村音乐的代表作,歌词中弥漫着一种淡淡的欲罢不能的忧郁。男女主人公不动声色的对白,两个人就这样错过了。歌词虽简单,但是简单的对白就像是品尝甜中带着涩的青果。

        听着这首悠扬的歌曲,让人想起了很多,有很多事情如果没有珍惜,一旦错过就可能永远失去。
