Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

Johnny

When I think of Johnny

I remember the spring

I remember his laughter

And the way he would sing

Oh, how I loved Johnny

With my heart I loved Johnny

Oh, how I loved Johnny

But he never knew

I prayed that he’d travel

Through the winter’s wild storm

And he’d kiss me and hold me

So close and so warm

Oh, how I loved Johnny

With my heart I loved Johnny

Oh, how I loved Johnny

But he never knew

He left with leaves falling

Falling dead to the ground

And no more will I ever

Hear his sweet laugh, laughing sound

Oh, how I loved Johnny

Oh, how I loved Johnny

Oh, how I loved Johnny

But he never, ever knew

He never knew

Never knew

Never
