Cotton candy was king
On the midway that spring
When I saw you in the ring on the lawn
Dear John
Throwing kisses so Richmond ' s unfortunates can go on
Oh the lectures I gave
So the girls would behave
While the band played all your favorite songs
Dear John
Throwing kisses so Richmond ' s unfortunates can go on
But numbers come up and you ' re left to the fates
Though I always thought you were one of the greats
Once somebody stationed in Kuala Lumpur
Said he thought you went out but he couldn ' t be sure
And the midway I knew
Where the sky was so blue
With the memory of you is gone
Dear John
Throwing kisses so Richmond ' s unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond ' s unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond ' s unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond ' s unfortunates can go on
Throwing kisses so Richmond ' s unfortunates can go on
