(L.Lane)
Would you be my Johnny, If I be your June?
Would you sing my soul to sleep
When I’ve got the weary blues?
Would you be my Johnny, if I be your June?
Would you whisper in my ear everything that’s good?
If I was your lady I would reach the moon
Circle it three times, haul it back for you
If you be mine
Until my dying day
I will be playing our love song
And when our bodies fail
I’ll meet you at the gates
And we can sing our Halleluiahs
Halleluiah
Would you be my Johnny, ‘cos l’d be your June
And I would whisper in your ear everything that’s good
If you were my Johnny, I would be your June
When you’d run yourself right ragged
I’d chase your demons with a club
I’d have your babies, write them tunes
o we could sing their souls to sleep
Wrapped in blankets from round the world
If you be mine
Would you be my Johnny, ‘cos I’d be your June
And I would sing your soul to sleep
When you’ve got the weary blues
If you be mine
