Little Red Balloon Lyrics

1st Verse

Her Mama took her shoppin'

Said, 'Anything you please

They got dolls with pretty dresses

How 'bout one 'a these?'

She said, 'All I want

Is a little red balloon'

2nd Verse

'And a box 'a Magic Markers

The permanent kind

All the colors of the rainbow

That's what I had in mind

And a little ball of string

Then we can go home'

Pre Chorus

She was sittin' on the window sill

Lookin' at the sky

She said a little prayer

And let it fly

1st Chorus

'I miss you, Dad

How are things in Heaven?

I wish you could have been here for my birthday

You know I just turned seven

I'm a'sendin' you this message

I hope you get it soon

I wrote it in big letters on my

Little red balloon'

3rd Verse

Four years ago last Sunday

The angels came to call

The family gathered in the kitchen

She sat cryin' in the hall

Holdin' on tight

To her favorite teddy bear

4th Verse

He loved to tell her stories

He'd sit her on his knee

He taught her how to ride her bike

When she was barely three

Now she only gets to see him

In her dreams

Pre Chorus

Now she talks to him as if he's there

From the window of her room

Says, 'Daddy, when're you comin' home?'

'Did you get my last balloon?'

2nd Chorus

'I miss you, Dad

How are things in Heaven?

I wish you could have been here for my birthday

I just turned eleven

I wonder if you've ever met

The man in the moon

Is he the one who helps you find my

Little red balloons?'

Bridge

Now that little girl

Is all grown up

But she still finds the time

To keep in touch

Tag Chorus

'I miss you, Dad

How are things in Heaven?

I'm gettin' married next July

I wish 'ya could'a met him

What I'd give to have you here

To see my dreams come true

I guess I'll just keep sendin' you these

Little red balloons

I miss you, Dad

I miss you, Dad'
