Jackie DeShannon — So Long Johnny lyrics

Lyrics

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’ll 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 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
