Dear John — текст песни (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
`Coz the fighting was all over and the battles had all been won
But then I opened up the letter and it 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 is gone
But tonight I`ll wed your brother, dear John

And tonight I wed another, dear John
