My favorite place in all the world
Was right inside your hug
You always made time just for me
But I never heard you complain
It wasn't your style
I know your pain was hidden
Behind that great big smile
You said a lot of prayers for me
And I won't let you down
Momma keeps your pictures up
So its like your still around
You laid down your life for me
I'll never forget
But I can't let you go away
At least not yet
So I'm sending you a Pink balloon in July
But I don't want it to make you cry
Jesus please promise me
She'll get my pink balloon
Cause I never got to say goodbye
The paramedics came that night
I got to see their flashing lights
At about a quarter to seven
The next morning when I woke up
I ran into your room
I said, "Mommy, they've carried her to Heaven"
Angels she likes pink roses
So pick a bunch for me
And when she smiles to say thank you
Please kiss her on her cheek
I remember all her sacrifice
I'll never forget
But I can't let her go away
At least not yet
So I'm sending you a pink balloon in July
But I don't want it to make you cry
Grandma I'm behaving
Just like I promised you
But you forgot to say goodbye
But you left me your legacy
Faith in God so I'll believe
I will never be alone
You're more than just a memory
It wasn't accidentally
Because of you that I'm so strong
You'd give the clothes off your back
And then feel bad cuz you couldn't give skin
I wanna turn the hands of the clock back
Just to say
I love you again
So I'm sending you a pink balloon in July
Now I know that it won't make you cry
Cause I prayed last night
And Jesus said He gave you my balloon
And you turned to Him and didn't cry
Yes you smiled at Him and said goodbye
For now
