99 Red Balloons
by roxieanonymous
I let go 99 red balloons to fly
99 prayers, 99 kisses goodbye
Like fireworks, they lit up the sky
Like your eyes, they make me cry
I let go 99 red balloons on the day
When I wept while the world was gay
I weep, for you are just a touch away
I weep, for when I touch, you back away
I let go 99 red balloons sadly
Much has been said when you said I'm Sorry
Brown eyes that light up like the city
Brown eyes that will never lay upon me
I let go with a hope that's new
My heart is in pieces but remains true
99 red balloons
One for me
All else for you
