Dear John

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Gary Osborne
Album Jump Up 1982

I got home today
Took a look around
Trying to find that girl of mine
She could not be found

All her things were gone
She just left a note
It don't take no mastermind
To figure what she wrote

And she said:
Dear John
I'm movin' on
By this time I'm gonna be long gone
Dear John c' est la vie
Dear John
So long
You've seen the last of me

I don't want her back
I won't even try
This time ain't just "Au Revoir"
This time it's goodbye

We could not go on
Living like we were
I was just about to write
A Dear John not to her

I was gonna say
Dear John
I'm movin' on
By this time I'm gonna be long gone
Dear John c' est la vie
Dear John
So long
You've seen the last of me
