To watch your red balloon fly away It's such a disappointment Nothing to say, much like today I'm hurting because of you, I saw you fly away Nothing I can change today Chorus: Too bad you couldn't stay, didn't see you on your way Now there's no taking back or saying what I meant to say And now the only question is why, while the answer is denied The world looks so much different without your smile Reality hit me hard today The past is gone away, hope I'll remember it And all those times we used to play Those memories of you and I when we were young Stir my heart alive and shadow the death that has become Repeat Chorus I'll preserve your life inside To mend your absence for the rest of my time I know you touched so many lives I finally see you in your true light I see all the things I failed to see before And the world looks different now Repeat Chorus ::in loving memory of Matt Dutton::
