A Dear John Letter Songtext
von Skeeter Davis

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 you that my love for you has gone
But tonight I wed your brother dear John

Tonight I wed another dear John
