Mark Wills - The Balloon Song lyrics

(casey beathard) I set a friend of mine up on a date And i told him i'd watch his boy for the day And we had a ball playin' games, eatin' dogs Riding rides at the county fair I thought he was just being a kid When we got back to my place And he did what he did On a balloon that he won He wrote mama i had fun I missed you and i wished you were there I wasn't sure what he had in mind 'till he jumped up and ran outside and He let it go, he waved goodbye, or was it hello? I don't know but i died inside I can still see his excitement Him pointing and smilin' When it was gone as it could get He turned and asked me You think it's in heaven yet? Well i struggled for something to say I was too choked up and Lackin' the kind of faith he had in his heart Before i could start He walked me back inside He gave me his crayola pen Said, i bet there's a message that you'd like to send And no doubt he was right it's been locked Up inside since grandpa said goodbye I took that yellow balloon and i wrote 'til i ran out of room then I let it go and we waved goodbye That seven year old Lord he opened my eyes I can still see his excitement Him pointing and smilin' When it was gone as it could get I turned and asked him You think it's in heaven yet?
