Story Behind The Song

IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME..(& TO ME)

Song Description

THE QUINTESSENTIAL "DEAR JOHN" E-MAIL..TO A SONGWRITER

Lyrics

DEAR JOHN


Woke up this morning, rolled out of bed
Accessed my E-mail - rubbed my eyes and shook my head
Picture a dreamer staring at the screen
Reading the message that shatters the dream

DEAR JOHN
You are wonderful
And you don't deserve the words I'm sending you today
DEAR DEAR JOHN

Outside my window the rain began to fall
I never heard the thunder or saw the writing on the wall
Part of me wanted to simply dream on
And part of me sat there and had to read on

DEAR JOHN
You pour your heart and soul
Into every song you write and when you sing to me I know
You could have been the one
And if I'd just been first in line
I would have treasured every moment but you never had the time
DEAR DEAR JOHN

Bridge: No hint - no clue - no warning - not a trace
No feeling - in my heart - a tear running down my face
And I'm wondering is this some kind of cruel joke
So I scroll down - to the last words she wrote....

DEAR JOHN
I know it isn't fair
I tried to tell you many times but you were never there
So dedicate this song
I know your lucky break will come
And I know you'll fall in love again just like I have done
DEAR DEAR JOHN


Outside my window the rain began to fall
