[00:22.83]It was January, 1963
[00:26.97]When Johnny came home with a gift for me
[00:30.34]He said I bought it for you because I love you
[00:34.42]And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday, too
[00:38.33]He was so very nice, he was so very kind
[00:42.26]To think of me at this point in time
[00:47.66]I used to think of him, he used think of me
[00:54.18]He told me to close my eyes
[00:57.20]My gift would be a great surprise
[01:01.79]I saw tears were in his eyes
[01:05.34]He never meant to hurt me
[01:08.28]Oh God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
[01:16.33]There's so many ways our lives have changed
[01:20.56]But please, I beg, don't do this to me
[01:24.57]Johnny, don't point that gun at me
[01:31.68]Can I save my life at any price?
[01:36.12]For God's sake won't you listen to me?
[01:40.32]
[01:55.05]And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
[01:59.44]Johnny came home with another wife
[02:02.77]And he often remembered how it used to be
[02:06.39]Before that special occasion, 1963
[02:10.60]There was too many ways that you could kill someone
[02:14.06]Like in a love affair, when the love has gone
[02:19.72]He used to think of her, she used to think of him
[02:26.09]He told me to close my eyes
[02:29.37]My gift would be a great surprise
[02:33.91]I saw hatred in his eyes
[02:37.03]But he never meant to hurt me
[02:40.44]Oh God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
[02:48.48]There's so many ways our lives have changed
[02:52.28]But please, I beg, don't do this to me
[02:56.98]Johnny, you keep on using me
[03:03.91]Can I change my life for any price?
[03:07.65]Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
[03:12.32]I just want you to be mine
[03:16.12]I don't want this world to shine
[03:19.98]I don't want this bridge to burn
[03:23.01]Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
[03:25.56]I just want to feel free
[03:33.19]I will always feel free
[03:40.86]I will always feel free
[03:48.48]I will always feel free
[03:56.23]I will always feel free
