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
Umm, wait for me
I will write twice every day
Here in my heart you will always stay
Trust me, so long Johnny
Promise you'll wait for me
Umm, wait for me (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
No way you came 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
