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
