High above the world I fly
Deep red against a bright blue sky
Such a shame I was let go
By a young girl
Who now I’ll never know
But oh did she cry
And her mother did try
But I was gone
Floating into space
Her daddy tried to keep up pace
But I was much too high
And much too fast
In a few years, I’ll be a thing of the past
She won’t even remember the day
She let a pretty red balloon get away
