Dearest One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dearest one
As I write from far away
I'm hoping that you write me and you say
Your love for me still yearns and burns
Dearest one (my dearest one, dearest one)
Keep away from Johnny (my dearest one, dearest one)
'Cause he's the type of guy who'll make you cry (ahh, ahh)
Take your love, then he'll push you aside (ooh)

[Verse 2]
Oh, I know it's hard for you (ahh)
Being alone while I'm gone
Oh, but soon as my furlough comes (ahh)
I'll be home, it won't be long
You can date other guys if you want to
But please don't let them kiss you
'Cause it would make me feel like going over the hill

[Chorus]
(Dearest one)
My dearest one
(Dearest one)
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
Dearest one (my dearest one, dearest one)
Please answer this letter (my dearest one, dearest one)
And tell me that I'll always be (ahh, ahh)
Your one and only for eternity (my dearest one, dearest one)

[Outro]
Woah, dearest one (my dearest one, dearest one)
Please wait for me (ahh, ahh)
Ooh, dearest one (my dearest one, dearest one)
Darling, wait for me (my dearest one, dearest one)
Ooh, dearest one (ahh, ahh)
Darling, wait for me (my dearest one, dearest one)
Please (my dearest one, dearest one)
Oh, please...
