the head turner

Thursday, May 17, 2007

Went for VJ choir Symphony Of Voices at Esplanade on Tuesday night. We were seated so front, any nearer and we would have been kissing the nicely polished shoes of the basses. It was worth my 21 bucks though, and I feel sorry for those who missed it. =)

Anyway, after digging and playing all the old cds in the house, I picked the following song for Daddy to sing at the banquet, mainly because I like the lyrics, though it's a little sad.

Don't Cry Joni

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

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

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 our little home town
Got me a job and tried 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 some day you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Signed with love, forever true

I packed my clothes and caught a plane
I had to see Joni I had to explain
How my heart was filled with her memory
And ask my Joni 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 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

Isn't it sad? I felt so sad for Joni when she sang the part about waiting for her. And then I got kinda mad at Jimmy for letting his chance with Joni slip away. Heh.

I hate the feeling of not knowing/finding any appropriate thing to say, even when I know there's much to be said. Does it ever happen to you? Unfortunately it happens so frequently to me that I'm beginning to think that I've lost my ability to reason.

Yikes.
