哈哈,我喜欢了很久的歌曲呀,为此我还专门写了一篇帖子呢。。。(

叫Joni,don't cry...
这是一首男女对唱歌曲,是美国乡村音乐的代表之作。旋律简单舒缓,琅琅上口,怀旧伤感的情绪一直贯穿在重复了十遍的主旋律中。
歌曲讲述了这样一个爱情故事:
Joni是住在我家隔壁的女孩,有一天写了一张纸条给我,叫我等她长大,她要嫁给我。但当时我对Joni说,你才十五岁,而我已二十二了,我不能等你,因为我要离开这个小镇我的家乡到外面的世界去闯荡,你最好忘了我。我说这话时Joni泪如雨下。五年后我终于搭飞机赶回来想要向Joni求婚,因为在外乡流浪的日子里,发现自己的内心深深爱着她,五年光阴里充满的都是对她的点滴回忆。当我找到Joni,我却泪如雨下,因为她已嫁给了我最好的朋友John。
