Lyrics of Dear john letter

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
And he handed me a letter i was just as happy as i could be
For the fighting was all over and the battle have been won
Then i opened up the letter and that 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

Will you please send back my picture, my husband wants it now
And when i tell you who i'm wedding i know you won't care, dear anyhow
Now the ceremony has just started and tonight i'll wed your brother don
Will you please wish us happiness forever, dear john?
