Joanna I can't forget the one they call Joanna We owned the summer, hand in hand Joanna And now she's always just a tear away Goodbye you, you long lost summer Leaving me behind you Revealing things for lovers that may find you I still hang on to every word that day, you passed my way Joanna You made the man a child again, so sweetly He breathed your smile Lived in your eyes completely And on his heart there's still a trace of you I love you but nothing in this world could make you mine Yet still in time Joanna Joanna, you may remember me and change your mind I love you but nothing in this world could make you mine Yet still in time Joanna Joanna, you may remember me and change your mind
