I put my heart in a red balloon
But I let it go to soon
Let it go on the boulevard

Where wicked winds blow so hard

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that


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 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


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


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
