Querido Juan (Querido Juan)
Oh, cómo odio escribir
Querido Juan (Querido Juan)
Tengo que avisarte esta noche
Que mi amor por ti se ha ido
No hay razón para seguir adelante
Porque esta noche me casé con otro, querido John
SPOKEN: I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me. And he handed
me a letter. Aww, I was happy as I could be. You see, the fighting was all over and
the battles, they'd all been won. Then I, I opened up the letter and it started "Dear
John."
CHORUS
(Dear John)
SPOKEN: Will you please send back my picture? You see, 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. Please wish us happiness
forever, dear John.
