Madeleine Carroll - Balloon Lyrics

Standing on the grass, I hold in my hand
A heart-shaped balloon
A little gift he gave me in June
The sky's now calling for
But I just can't let go

How I cling to him, holding for so long
The string against the wind
Even though the summer is gone
Now it's time to move on
I watch as I let go

I never thought I'd turn out all right
But it took no time at all
To feel the weight fall off
If it's not meant to be, it won't be
Whatever's right will find a way to me

Watching the balloon fly across the sky
And finally leave my view
I pray that I will find something new
Though my head's hanging low
It takes more strength to let go

I never thought I'd turn out all right
But it took no time at all
To feel the weight fall off
No if it's not meant to be, it won't be
Whatever's right will find a way to me

Now I know that I'll be all right
'Cause when you let go once
You'll be freed a thousand times
If it's not meant to be, it won't be
Whatever's right will find a way to me
