Lyrics So Long Johnny - Jackie DeShannon

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
Um, wait for me

I will write twice every day
Here in my heart you'll always stay
Trust me, so long Johnny
Promise you'll wait for me
Um, 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 are through
Let me come to you with a love that is free
The 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
