1965 Performer Skeeter Davis Title A dear John letter Co-singers: Bobby Bare Lyrictext
Dear John, oh how I hate to write Dear John I must let you know tonight That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn And tonight I wed another, dear John
I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be 'Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won But then I opened up the letter and that started dear John
Won't you please send back my picture, my husband wants it now When I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care dear anyhow And it hurts me so to tell ye that my love for you has gone But tonight I wed your brother dear John
