A Dear John Letter (Bonus Track)

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'll wed another, dear John

I was overseas in battle when the postman come to me
And he handed me a letter, I was as 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'll wed another, dear John

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
Would you wish us happiness forever, dear John?
