Answer 1

Bobby Bare... 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.



Recitation:



I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me

And he handed me a letter, I was 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 wed another, Dear John.



Recitation:



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

Will you wish us happiness forever, Dear John

Answer 2

i had a song on my yahoo playlist but since that is no longer available, I am trying to find this particular song. A boy and girl in the video are on a playground. He likes her and he gives her a mixed tape. Later in the video they are grown up and she is engaged to someone else. He climbs through her bedroom window. There is a scrap book he carries. I thought it was Stacys MixTape, but cant seem to find this video or song anywhere!! Anyone have any idea??
