Red Balloon Lyrics

Mouths Of Babes Red Balloon

I don't think I've ever told you this before
When I was a child I dreamed that I had found an old forgotten door
Guess that I was lonely, guess that I made up a lot of worlds
Guess that I knew pretty early that I was not like the other girls
Standing in the field
I told her how I feel
Guess that it was much too soon
Cause I went home with just a red balloon
Now I look up from my coffee, you are like a beacon in this room
That called to me so loud and strongly, I could not see anything but you
Now I watch you move
In and out of view
Just like in an old French movie
My heart floats just like a red balloon
Seems like you were never broken, like you sailed right through the wonder years
Life gave you a subway token, you took the line until you made it here
And not a day too soon
You flew around the moon
Someone let you go and you came to me, my red balloon
