[00:19.13]It was January, 1963
[00:23.14]When Johnny came home with a gift for me
[00:26.52]He said I bought it for you because I love you
[00:30.56]And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday, too
[00:34.42]He was so very nice, he was so very kind
[00:38.40]To think of me at this point in time
[00:43.75]I used to think of him, he used think of me
[00:50.18]He told me to close my eyes
[00:53.20]My gift would be a great surprise
[00:57.78]I saw tears were in his eyes
[01:01.33]He never meant to hurt me
[01:04.23]Oh God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
[01:12.36]There's so many ways our lives have changed
[01:16.73]But please, I beg, don't do this to me
[01:20.71]Johnny, don't point that gun at me
[01:27.67]Can I save my life at any price?
[01:31.92]For God's sake won't you listen to me?
[01:36.09]
[01:43.28]And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
[01:47.52]Johnny came home with another wife
[01:50.82]And he often remembered how it used to be
[01:54.44]Before that special occasion, 1963
[01:58.78]There was too many ways that you could kill someone
[02:02.10]Like in a love affair, when the love is gone
[02:07.92]He used to think of her, she used to think of him
[02:14.31]He told me to close my eyes
[02:17.38]My gift would be a great surprise
[02:21.97]I saw tears in his eyes
[02:25.52]He never meant to hurt me
[02:28.41]Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
[02:36.54]There's so many ways our lives have changed
[02:40.32]But please, I beg, don't do this to me
[02:44.90]Johnny, you keep on using me
[02:51.82]Can I change my life for any price?
[02:55.53]Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
[03:00.19]He told me to close my eyes
[03:03.24]My gift would be a great surprise
[03:07.85]I saw hatred in his eyes
[03:10.94]But he never meant to hurt me
[03:14.29]Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
[03:22.38]There's so many ways our lives have changed
[03:26.18]But please, I beg, don't do this to me
[03:30.79]Johnny, you keep on using me
[03:37.71]Can I change my life for any price?
[03:41.55]Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
