Mouths of Babes - Red Balloon lyrics

I don't think I've ever told you this before When I was a child I dreamed that I had found an old forgotten door Guess that I was lonely, guess that I made up a lot of worlds Guess that I knew pretty early that I was not like the other girls Standing in the field I told her how I feel Guess that it was much too soon Cause I went home with just a red balloon Now I look up from my coffee, you are like a beacon in this room That called to me so loud and strongly, I could not see anything but you Now I watch you move In and out of view Just like in an old French movie My heart floats just like a red balloon Seems like you were never broken, like you sailed right through the wonder years Life gave you a subway token, you took the line until you made it here And not a day too soon You flew around the moon Someone let you go and you came to me, my red balloon
