I put my heart in a red balloon 
But I let it go to soon 
Let it go on the boulevard 
Where wicked winds blow so hard 

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that 

The sky is full of red balloons 
Red balloons are full of broken hearts 
Broken hearts are floating by a chance 
Will they burst or drift 
Into arms 
Will they burst or drift 
Into arms 

I put my voice in a red balloon 
For you it sang too many tunes 
Haunted by those melodies 
I let it go with the breeze 

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that 

The sky is full of red balloons 
Red balloons are full of broken hearts 
Broken hearts are floating by a chance 
Will they burst or drift 
Into arms 
Will they burst or drift 
Into arms 

I put my eyes in a red balloon 
To watch you with the light of the moon, 
But seeing you holding hands 
With another girl and making plans 
Well I just had to set you free 
And finally see, that 

The sky is full of red balloons 
Red balloons are full of broken hearts 
Broken hearts are floating by a chance 
Will they burst or drift 
Into arms, 
Will they burst or drift 
Into arms ...
