Pat Boone — Dear John lyrics
(CHORUS)
Dear John (Dear John)
Oh, how I hate to write
Dear John (Dear John)
I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has gone
There's no reason to go on
For tonight I wed another
Dear John
(Spoken)
I was overseas in battle
When the postman came to me
And he handed me a letter
Aw, I was happy as I could be
You see, the fighting was
All over and the battles
They'd all been won
Then I, I opened up the letter
And it started, Dear John
(CHORUS)
(Spoken)
Will you please send back my picture
You see, 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
Dear John (Dear John)
Oh, how I hate to write
Dear John (Dear John)
I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has gone
There's no reason to go on
For tonight I wed another
Dear John
(Spoken)
I was overseas in battle
When the postman came to me
And he handed me a letter
Aw, I was happy as I could be
You see, the fighting was
All over and the battles
They'd all been won
Then I, I opened up the letter
And it started, Dear John
(CHORUS)
(Spoken)
Will you please send back my picture
You see, 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
