Mark Wills - The Balloon Song Lyrics
(casey beathard)I set a friend of mine up on a dateAnd I told him Id watch his boy for the dayAnd we had a ball playin games, eatin dogsRiding rides at the county fairI thought he was just being a kidWhen we got back to my placeAnd he did what he didOn a balloon that he wonHe wrote mama I had funI missed you and I wished you were thereI wasnt sure what he had in mindtill he jumped up and ran outside andHe let it go, he waved goodbye, or was it hello?I dont know but I died insideI can still see his excitementHim pointing and smilinWhen it was gone as it could getHe turned and asked meYou think its in heaven yet?Well I struggled for something to sayI was too choked up andLackin the kind of faith he had in his heartBefore I could startHe walked me back insideHe gave me his crayola penSaid, I bet theres a message that youd like to sendAnd no doubt he was right its been lockedUp inside since grandpa said goodbyeI took that yellow balloon and I wrotetil I ran out of room thenI let it go and we waved goodbyeThat seven year oldLord he opened my eyesI can still see his excitementHim pointing and smilinWhen it was gone as it could getI turned and asked himYou think its in heaven yet?
