You let me go like a balloon
I slipped through your fingers one afternoon
I didn’t know you wanted me,
wanted me gone so soon
No, I didn’t know you wanted me
as far away from you as the moon

guess this is good-bye
as I fly away, as I fly...

Over the rooftops, over the treetops
Over the blackbirds on the wires
Hope this heart of mine doesn’t pop
as I’m floating higher
I didn’t know you wanted me,
wanted me gone so soon
No, I didn’t know you wanted me
as far away from you as the moon

look at me one last time
as I fly away, as I fly...

Now here comes the wind...

to carry me away
it's gonna carry me away
So I won’t be back
No, I won’t ever come back
'cause you let me go, you let me go, you let me go...
