Letra de 1963
It was January 1963 When Johnny came home with a gift for me He said "I bought it for you because I love you" "And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday, too" He was so very nice, he was so very kind To think of me at this point in time I used to think of him, he used think of meHe told me to close my eyes My gift would be a great surprise I saw tears were in his eyes He never meant to hurt meOh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me There's so many ways our lives have changed But please, I beg, don't do this to me Johnny, don't point that gun at me Can I save my life at any price? For God's sake won't you listen to me?And though he was ashamed that he had took a life Johnny came home with another wife And I often remembered how it used to be Before that special occasion, 1963 There was too many ways that you could kill someone Like in a love affair, when the love has gone He used to think of her, she used to think of himHe told me to close my eyes My gift would be a great surprise I saw tears were in his eyes He never meant to hurt meOh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me There's so many ways our lives have changed But please, I beg, don't do this to me Johnny, you keep on using me Can I change my life for any price? Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?He told me to close my eyes My gift would be a great surprise I saw hatred in his eyes But he never meant to hurt meOh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me There's so many ways our lives have changed But please, I beg, don't do this to me Johnny, you keep on using me Can I change my life for any price? Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to meI just want you to be mine I don't want this world to shine I don't want this bridge to burn Oh, Johnny, do you miss me? I just want to feel freeI will always feel freeI will always feel freeI will always feel freeI will always feel free
