Summer Song #28... Up Up & Away

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon

We could float among the stars together,

 You & I

For we can fly, we can fly

Up, up & away

My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon

It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon

We can sing a song & sail along the silver sky

For we can fly we can fly

Up, up & away

My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopy

We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us

If by some chance you find yourself loving me

We'll find a cloud to hide us

We'll keep the moon beside us

Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon

Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon

If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky

For we can fly we can fly

Up, up & away

My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Balloon...

Up, up, & away...

Jimmy Webb

I have never been in a hot air balloon. It is one of the many things on the list of things I want to experience before I go. I sense that I need to start checking off that list. Tell me, have you ever been up in a balloon?
