Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Gary Osborne

I got home today
Took a look around

Trying to find that girl of mine
She could not be found

All her things were gone
She just left a note
It don´t take no mastermind
To figure what she wrote

And she said dear John I´m moving on
By this time I´m gonna be long gone
Dear John c´est la vie
Dear John so long
You´ve seen the last of me

I don´t want her back
I won´t even try
This time ain´t just au revoir
This time it´s goodbye

We could not go on
Living like we were
I was just about to write
A Dear John note to her

I was gonna say
Dear John I´m moving on
By this time I´m gonna be long gone
Dear John c´est la vie
Dear John so long
You´ve seen the last of me
