lyrics

Dear John (You're on my Mind)

I'm so shot up but my eyes are dry
I'm seeing your face for the very first time.
You are on my mind.

Remembering times when you made us laugh,
living each day like its the last we had.
You are on my mind.

Farewell, goodnight.

So caught up on a September's day
woulda' held you longer if I knew it'd be
the very last time.

There's a little boy here who looks just like dad
one day I'll tell em' bout the times we had.
You are on my mind.

Farewell, goodnight.

I hope when they lay you down in the earth
the sun comes out and shines new like you.
You are on my mind.

Farewell, goodnight.
