A Dear John Letter Lyrics

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.

Recitation:

I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me

And he handed me a letter, I was happy as I could be

For the fighting was all over and the battle had been won

Then I opened up the 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 away like grass upon the lawn

And tonight I wed another, Dear John.

Recitation:

Will 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

Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John
