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.
