(Casey Beathard)

I Set A Friend Of Mine Up On A Date
And I Told Him I'd Watch His Boy For The Day
And We Had A Ball Playin' Games, Eatin' Dogs
Riding Rides At The County Fair
I Thought He Was Just Being A Kid
When We Got Back To My Place
And He Did What He Did
On A Balloon That He Won
He Wrote Mama I Had Fun
I Missed You And I Wished You Were There
I Wasn't Sure What He Had In Mind
'Till He Jumped Up And Ran Outside And

He Let It Go, He Waved Goodbye, Or Was It Hello?
I Don't Know But I Died Inside
I Can Still See His Excitement
Him Pointing And Smilin'
When It Was Gone As It Could Get
He Turned And Asked Me
You Think It's In Heaven Yet?

Well I Struggled For Something To Say
I Was Too Choked Up And
Lackin' The Kind Of Faith He Had In His Heart
Before I Could Start
He Walked Me Back Inside
He Gave Me His Crayola Pen
Said, I Bet There's A Message That You'd Like To Send
And No Doubt He Was Right It's Been Locked
Up Inside Since Grandpa Said Goodbye
I Took That Yellow Balloon And I Wrote
'Til I Ran Out Of Room Then

I Let It Go And We Waved Goodbye
That Seven Year Old
Lord He Opened My Eyes
I Can Still See His Excitement
Him Pointing And Smilin'
When It Was Gone As It Could Get
I Turned And Asked Him
You Think It's In Heaven Yet?
