Lyrics

See the red balloon
Floating high above
Some child just let it go
And didn't show it love

If that were my balloon
I would hold on tight
And float into the sky
And away out of sight

I'd float up to the clouds
And there I'd stop and lie
On a cloudy bed
With my balloon close by

I'd say "See that little child
We are just above?
Some grownup let him go
And didn't show him love

"If that were my child
I would hold him tight
And float him to the clouds
Away out of sight

"Then he could rest
And wipe away his tears
And help other children
Forget their fears"

It's just a red balloon
Floating free and high
But oh! How it must feel
To fly and fly and fly
