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
(Dear John, oh, how I hate to write) I was overseas in battle
When the postman came to me (Dear John)
He handed me a letter
(I must let you know tonight) And I was just as happy as I could be
'Cause the fighting was all over
(That my love for you has died away) And the battles have all been won
(Like grass upon the lawn) But then I opened up the letter
(And tonight I wed another, dear John) And that started "Dear John"
(Dear John, oh, how) Won't you please send back my picture?
(I hate to write) My husband wants it now
(Dear John) When I tell you who I'm wedding
(I must let you know tonight) You won't care dear anyhow
(That my love for you) And it hurts me so to tell you
(Has died away) That my love for you has gone
(Like grass upon the lawn) But tonight I wed your brother, dear John
And tonight I wed another, dear John
