I take my favorite red balloon
Everywhere I go
When my class does a show and tell

Towards the big blue sky
That's where it wants to go, but no

Trying to get free
It wants me to just let it ride
The cool and gentle breeze

It pains me much to do it
But it deserves much more
Than to be held on to by me
Down here nearby the floor

Today I'll let it go, I will
Loosen up my grip
I'll wave it a long last goodbye as
String through my fingers slips
·

So I took my favorite red balloon and let go of the string
For happiness to my balloon I knew that it would bring
