Hold me close, show me a smile

I'll just be gone for a little while

Johnny, so long Johnny

Promise you'll wait for me

Ummm, wait for me

I'll write twice every day

Here in my heart you'll always stay

Trust me, so long Johnny

Promise you'll wait for me

Ummm, wait for me

There is a boy I left behind, he’s in love with me

 And I want to see him and try to explain he and I owe you

 Let me come to you with a love that is free

 Not one that's chained to me

Johnny, Dear, please understand

It's gonna be just the way we planned

Hold on, so long Johnny

I'm coming back to you

Oh, Johnny wait for me

I'm coming back to you

Oh, Johnny wait for me
