Joanie Lyrics - Conway Twitty

Joanie was the girl who lived next door 

I've known her I guess ten years or more 

Joanie 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 

Signed with love forever true 

Slowly I read her note once more 

I went over to the house next door 

Her teardrops fell like rain that day 

When I told Joanie what I had to say 

Joanie, Joanie please don't cry 

You'll forget me by and by 

You're just 15 and I'm 22 

And Joanie I just can't wait for you

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 Joanie 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 

Signed with love forever true 

I packed my clothes and I caught a plane 

I had to see Joanie 

I had to explain 

How my heart was filled with her memory 

And ask my Joanie if she'd marry me 

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 heard what Joanie had to say
