Johnny

When I think of Johnny

I remember the spring

I remember his laughter

And the way he would sing

R

Oh! How I loved Johnny

With my heart

I loved Johnny

Oh! How I loved Johnny

But he never knew

I prayed that he'd travel

Through the winter's wild storm

And he'd kiss me

And hold me

So close and so warm

He left with leaves falling

Falling dead to the ground

And no more will I ever

Hear his sweet laughing sound

But he never knew

But he never knew

But he never knew

Johnny
