Dear John

Dear John I wrote you a letter

One that I wish you could read

Full of stories inspired by your words

And how much you meant to me

Dear John I wrote you a letter

As soon as I heard the news

I was just sitting here thinking

How lucky we were to have you

I know that you’re flying over Montgomery,

Bethlehem and Bowling Green too

Now you’re looking over everyone

Cause that’s what the good Angels do

Dear John I wrote you a letter

And I hope you can spare me a word

I’m seeking those big pearls of wisdom

Cause right now I’m feelin so hurt

Dear John I wrote you a letter

I know I should have no complaints

I’m sitting alone and bewildered

Missing my new patron saint

I know that you’re flying over Montgomery,

Omaha and Montreal too

Now you’re looking over everyone

Cause that’s what the good Angels do

Dear John I wrote you a letter

I know this won’t be my last

They’re just some words that came to me

So I had to write them down fast

Dear John I wrote you a letter

Not as deep as some others I’m sure

I’m just writing to an old friend

That I’ve never met before

I know that you’re flying over Montgomery,

The Twin Lakes and Paradise too

Now you’re looking over everyone

Cause that’s what the good Angels do
