Lyrics

[00:01.153] A Dear John Letter -Skeeter Davis
[00:08.832] Dear John oh how I hate to write
[00:16.928] Dear John I must let you know tonight
[00:27.219] That my love for you has died
[00:31.251] And when I grasp it won't be long
[00:35.929] And tonight I wed another dear John
[00:44.536] I was overseas in battle
[00:48.480] When the postman came to me
[00:52.942] He handed me a letter
[00:56.540] And I was as happy as I could be
[01:01.60] Cause the fighting was all over
[01:04.776] And the battles they'd all be won
[01:09.148] But then I opened up that letter
[01:13.16] And it started:Dear John
[01:17.736] Dear John oh how I hate to write
[01:25.577] Dear John I must let you know tonight
[01:35.917] That my love for you has died
[01:39.713] And when I grasp it won't be long
[01:44.328] And tonight I wed another dear John
[01:53.803] Would you please send back my picture
[01:58.444] My husband wants it now
[02:02.531] When I tell you who I'm wedding
[02:06.17] You won't care
[02:06.892] Dear anyhow
[02:10.629] Now the ceremony has started
[02:14.517] And I'll wed your brother Don
[02:19.47] Please wish us happiness forever dear John
