Dear John Letter (1965)
Dear John, oh how I hate to write
Dear John, I must let you know tonight
That my love for you has died, like the grass upon the lawn
And tonight I wed another Dear John
I was oversea in battle when the postman came to me
He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as could be
Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won
But then I opened up the letter and it started Dear John
Would 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 so for me to tell you that my love for you is gone
For tonight I wed your brother, Dear John
