The Balloon Song - Mark Wills[00:00:00]
Written by:Casey Beathard[00:00:07]
I set a friend of mine up on a date[00:00:10]
And I told him[00:00:16]
I'd watch his boy for the day[00:00:17]
And we had a ball[00:00:22]
Playin' games eatin' dogs[00:00:24]
Riding rides at the county fair[00:00:27]
I thought he was just being a kid[00:00:32]
When we got back to my place[00:00:37]
And he did what he did[00:00:41]
On a balloon that he won[00:00:43]
He wrote mama I had fun[00:00:46]
I missed you[00:00:49]
And I wished you were there[00:00:50]
I wasn't sure what he had in mind[00:00:54]
'Til he jumped up and ran outside[00:00:59]
And he let it go he waved goodbye[00:01:04]
Or was it hello[00:01:15]
I don't know but I died inside[00:01:20]
I can still see his excitement[00:01:26]
Him pointing and smilin'[00:01:30]
When it was gone as it could get[00:01:32]
He turned and asked me[00:01:37]
You think it's in heaven yet[00:01:41]
I struggled for something to say[00:01:54]
I was too choked up[00:01:59]
Lackin' the kind of faith[00:02:02]
He had in his heart[00:02:05]
Before I could start[00:02:08]
He walked me back inside[00:02:10]
He gave me his crayola pen[00:02:16]
Said I bet there's a message[00:02:21]
That you'd like to send[00:02:24]
And no doubt[00:02:26]
He was right it's been locked[00:02:28]
Up inside since my grandpa said goodbye[00:02:30]
I took that yellow balloon and I wrote[00:02:38]
'Till I ran out of room then[00:02:44]
I let it go and we waved goodbye[00:02:48]
That seven year old[00:02:58]
Lord he opened my eyes[00:03:04]
I can still see his excitement[00:03:10]
Him pointing and smilin'[00:03:13]
When it was gone as it could get[00:03:16]
I turned and asked him[00:03:20]
You think it's in heaven yet[00:03:25]
