Dear John Letter Lyrics - 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 

And tonight I wed another dear John
