CHORUS Dear John (Dear
John) Oh, how I hate to write Dear John (Dear John) I must let you
know tonight That my love for you has gone There's no reason to go
on For tonight I wed another, dear John
SPOKEN: I was overseas in
battle when the postman came to me. And he handed me a letter. Aww, I was
happy as I could be. You see, the fighting was all over and the battles,
they'd all been won. Then I, I opened up the letter and it started
"Dear John."
CHORUS
(Dear John) SPOKEN: Will you please
send back my picture? You see, my husband wants it now. When I tell you who
I'm wedding you won't care, dear, anyhow. Now the ceremony has started and
I'll wed your brother Don. Please wish us happiness forever, dear
John.
