Lyrics
She was only 6 or 7
She had nothing left to lose
She untied the yellow ribbon her momma tied too loose
And they stood there by the ocean
As her daydreams flew away
Momma dried her crocodile tears
And they both started to sway
Singing fly away red balloon
Take a little piece of me and put me on the moon
Fly away red balloon
I can't go with you to heaven 'cause it's just a bit too soon
Oh my red balloon
She was only 6 or 7 but she saw her momma's pain
And the bad man promised every night but things just stayed the same
So she tried to be a good girl
Tried to make herself so small
That the bad man wouldn't ever have a thing to say at all, oh no
Fly away red balloon
Take a little piece of me and put me on the moon
Fly away red balloon
I can't go with you to heaven 'cause it's just a bit too soon
Oh my red balloon
Fly away red balloon
Take a little piece of me and put me on the moon
Fly away red balloon
I can't go with you to heaven 'cause it's just a bit too soon
Oh my red balloon
