Forget me by and by

　　小時候偏愛聽這一類型的歌，那些在述說故事的歌，有點兒似唐滌生筆下的粵曲。下面的這一首訴說著一個很無奈的故事，男的為了一種當時固有的倫理觀念而逃情，結果他失去了所愛。

常被其中這一句歌詞: You'll forget me by and by 所感動。有聚有散，有時與特別投緣的朋友，想到倒頭來總需一別，就不期然的會想早點離去，以免日後情根深種的時候，更難於割捨，恰如歌裡的男生，口中雖然叫著 forget me by and by，但其實心中多麼希望留下來。似是瀟灑而別，內裡卻深被情傷，希望朋友能了解見諒，別要誤解 ......

Jimmy please say you'll wait for me
I'll grow up someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Shine with love forever true

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 someday you'll see
Saving all my kisses just for you
Shine with love forever true

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

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 town
Got me a job and tried to settle down
But these words kept haunting 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
Shine with love forever true

I packed my clothes and I caught a 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 marry me

I ran all the way to the house next door
But things weren't like they were before
My tear drops fell like rain that day
When I heard what Joni had to say

Jimmy Jimmi please don't cry
You'll forget me by and by
It's been five years since you've been gone
Jimmi I married your best friend John
