Intro

( ) x 3

Verse

I put my heart in a red balloon

But I let it go too soon

Let it go on the boulevard

Where wicked winds blow so hard

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that

Chorus

The sky is full of red balloons

Red balloons are full of broken hearts

Broken hearts are floating by a chance

Will they burst or drift

Into arms

Will they burst or drift

Into arms

Verse

I put my voice in a red balloon

For you it sang too many tunes

Haunted by those melodies

I let it go with the breeze

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that

Chorus

The sky is full of red balloons

Red balloons are full of broken hearts

Broken hearts are floating by a chance

Will they burst or drift

Into arms

Will they burst or drift

Into arms

I put my eyes in a red balloon

To watch you with the light of the moon,

But seeing you holding hands

With another girl and making plans

Well I just had to set you free

And finally see, that

Chorus

The sky is full of red balloons

Red balloons are full of broken hearts

Broken hearts are floating by a chance

Will they burst or drift

Into arms,

Will they burst or drift

Into arms

Outro

They could burst or drift

Into arms,

Into arms
