A Blue Balloon

Blue Balloon - Robby Benson (Theme from "Jeremy")

I have a blue balloon, a happy tune
And dreams enough to last me all through the afternoon
I have the New York Times, and 14 dimes and
Explanations of the most profound nursery rhymes

Before the rivers run dry
Before the last sad good-bye
Let us be kind to one another, we can try.

So don't just throw your love above
It's not too late to find out
Before the sand has all run out of the hourglass.

The carnival is here, the clowns appear.
Plastic painted people hold each other near.
Hopes are always high
The echo of the sky, and when it's over,
There just a lonely sound of good-bye.

Too late to hide it now
It's all around us now
Oh, how I want you girl
To lie beside me now
While there still this time
and all my poems still rhyme
Let me love you now,
We can drink a good, good wine

Before the rivers run dry,
Before the last sad good-bye.
Let us be kind to one another, we can try.

So don't just throw your love above,
You and me, hey let's find out,
Before the sand has all run out of the hourglass.
