Dear John I knew you
About as well as anyone
We were the wild ones
So sure those days would never end
Now they're only memories my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
I swear I saw you
On a crowded street today
I almost called your name
Thinking of all those yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
There'll be celebration
When all will be revealed
We'll have a reunion
High on a hill
Dear John how are you
God knows it's heaven where you are
Find some peace there
May it never end
Dear John my heart knows
We'll meet again
Dear John I'll see you....
Some day again
About as well as anyone
We were the wild ones
So sure those days would never end
Now they're only memories my friend
Some day again
On a crowded street today
I almost called your name
Thinking of all those yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Some day again
When all will be revealed
We'll have a reunion
High on a hill
God knows it's heaven where you are
Find some peace there
May it never end
We'll meet again
Dear John I'll see you....
Some day again

This song is about John Panozzo the original drummer for Styx who died because of an alcohol related death...RIP John
I first heard this song years ago and was in tears when it was over. To this day, I still feel the same way. Despite all the drama in Styx, it seemed like John and his twin brother Chuck just stayed the course and kept the band tight. What a great tribute.
