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
