A Dear John Letter Lyrics

[00:01.83]	A dear John letter
[00:03.02]	Skeeter Davis
[00:04.68]
[00:06.85]	*Dear John
[00:10.04]	Oh! how I hate to write
[00:14.44]	Dear John
[00:17.91]	I must let you know tonight
[00:23.90]	That my love for you has gone
[00:27.78]	There's no reason to go on
[00:32.36]	And tonight I wed another
[00:35.94]	Dear John*
[00:40.73]	(spoken)
[00:42.71]	I was overseas in battle
[00:45.68]	When the postman came to me
[00:49.43]	He handed me a letter
[00:51.34]	And I was as happy as I could be
[00:54.77]	Cause the fighting was all over
[00:58.29]	And the battles they'd all be won
[01:02.39]	But then I opened up that letter
[01:07.46]	And it stated Dear John(*)
[01:07.47]
[01:14.94]	Won’t you please sent back my picture?
[01:17.58]	My husband wants it now.
[01:21.60]	When I tell you who I’m wedding,
[01:24.92]	you won’t care, do you, anyhow?
[01:28.91]	And it hurts me so to tell you
[01:31.70]	that my love for you is gone,
[01:34.59]	And tonight I wed your brother, Dear John.
