Tears roll down her face
She waves until the airplane disappears
He is off to fight
For what is right it all seems very clear
He heard the call to war
It came from far away
Dear John (Dear John)
You live so far away
Tears roll down her face
She turns to him and finds an empty pillow
How could she have known
She urged him on now she’s all alone
He heard the call to war
It took him far away
Dear John (Dear John)
You live so far away
Tears roll down her face
