Dear Joan by Jack Cardwell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dear Joan, I have read your letter through
Dear Joan, I just can't believe it's true
Every day since I've be gone, I have prayed you'd find someone
'Cause I also love another, dear Joan
You remember when I used to go out with your sister Sue?
And then one night well we had a quarrel
And then I married you
But I never could stop lovin' her
And then she said she still loved me
But I was afraid I'd break your heart
If I asked you to set me free

[Verse 2]
Dear Joan, I'm so happy now for you
Dear Joan, 'cause you solved my problem too
Every day since I've be gone, I have prayed you'd find someone
'Cause I also love another, dear Joan
So many nights I laid awake, and I tried to find a way
To tell you without hurtin' you, the words I just couldn't say
But now since I got your letter, well my heart's free at last
And I do wish you all the happiness in the world, Dear Joan
