A Dear John Letter -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
And when I grasp it won't be long
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 as happy as I could be
Cause the fighting was all over
And the battles they'd all be won
But then I opened up that letter
And it started:Dear John
Dear John oh how I hate to write
Dear John I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died
And when I grasp it won't be long
And tonight I wed another dear John
Would 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
Now the ceremony has started
And I'll wed your brother Don
Please wish us happiness forever dear John
