Lyrics
I`m gonna buy you a balloon, just to watch you let it go.Better tie it around your wrist, and make a pretty bow.Life can be so grand, when you`ve got a rainbow in your hand.
Now little darlin' don`t you cry, I will buy you another, just so you can hold, all the rainbow colors.Skies are bluer when you`ve got a rainbow in your hand.
And if you should spy a balloon flying high,towards the sun, that be the one that got away.
You know i`m feelin' so proud, when were walkin' through the crowd. the way you always take my hand, the one with the wedding band.Well, it`s easy to understand when you`ve got a rainbow in your hand.
Ballon , Balloon, Balloon
