Red Balloon

Give me a red balloon on a long black string

I can whistle and I can sing

With my red balloon on a long black string

Oh I am richer than any king

Chorus:

Laughs are many and tears are few

Life's exciting and always new

In a world of girls and boys

In a world of simple joys

Give me a paper kite on a windy day

Oh I think I'll fly away

With my paper kite on a windy day

Oh yes I'll fly away

Give me a warm spring day and an apple tree

There is nothing that I can't see

When I look out from my apple tree

Look up there and you'll see me

Give me a jar of bubbles and a real good friend

Oh I wish this day won't end

With my jar of bubbles and a real good friend

Oh I wish this day won't end
