i have a blue balloon ...

Dedicated to Butter and all the unwilting Robby Benson fans that are still out there ....

The Hour Glass Song (Blue Ballon) - theme song from JEREMY (1973) IMAO, probably the most touching love story motion picture ever ...

I have a blue balloon, a happy tune

Love enough to last me all through the afternoon

I have a New York Times, fourteen dimes

And explanations for the most profound nursery rhymes.

Before the rivers run dry,

Before the last sad goodbye

Let us be kind to one another

We can try.

So don't just throw your love about

It's not too late to find out

Before the sand has all run out

of the hour-glass.

The carnival is here, the clowns appear

Plastic painted people hold each other near

Hopes are always high, they echo off the sky

When it's over It's just the lonely sound of goodbye.

Before the rivers run dry,

Before the last sad goodbye

Let us be kind to one another

We can try.

So don't just throw your love about

It's not too late to find out

Before the sand has all run out

of the hour-glass.

Too late to hide it now, it's all around us now

Oh how I want you girl To lie beside me now.

While there still is time and all my poems still rhyme

Let me love you now, we can drink the good, good wine.

Before the rivers run dry,

Before the last sad goodbye

Let us be kind to one another

We can try.

So don't just throw your love about

You and me, had last find out,

Before the sand has all run out

of the hour-glass.

Composed by Lee Holdridge / Sung by Robby Benson
