Hank Locklin - Johnny My Love (grandma's Diary) lyrics

(Johnny my love, Johnny my love

Johnny my love, Johnny my love.)

While looking through an old trunk

As kids we'd all times do

We found a yellow notebook

That was nearly torn in two.

That book was grandma's diary

Her name was written clear

And on the first old tattered page

We found these words so dear.

Johnny my love, Johnny my love

you make the whole world shine

You make the whole world shine for me

'Cause you're my Johnny, my love.

We brought grandma's old diary

To show to mom and dad

The way they started crying

Well, it really made us sad.

And when they started singing

The words we'd seen before

I'll never hear a song so sweet

In a million years or more.

Johnny my love, Johnny my love

you make the whole world shine

You make the whole world shine for me

'Cause you're my Johnny, my love.

'Cause you're my Johnny, my love.

'Cause you're my Johnny, my love...
