Blue Balloons (B.B’s Song)

I wrote this for my friend

A friend I never knew

That every single stage we graced

They know your name, it's safe to say

They throw their lighters in the air

I know that you were there

On that sun-drenched afternoon

I felt your spirit in the wind

We flew a hundred blue balloons for you

A hundred blue balloons for you

I can not forget the view

And I've never known the truth

Like the words they spoke for you, my friend

It's not the end

We're sending you a hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons for you

I can not forget the view

And I've never known the truth

Like the words they spoke for you, my friend

It's not the end

We're sending you a hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

What up, brother?

I'm handing you this letter and you know I gotta send it

Even though we never met up

But I hope that you get this wherever you are

I hope you know in my heart, I consider us connected

See myself reflected in you

A few years difference, but rolling with a similar crew

We were two young fellas tryna make if out the mountains

And by all accounts, man, you sounded astounding

I know, yeah I know you were amazing

'Cause I recognized it written on the faces

Of your family and friends

I'm sorry for the loss of my friends and my commiserations

This a dedication to the life of a beautiful soul

I wish that I coulda known, but I don't

So I'm writing this poem just to say

I will never forget how I felt on that day

I wrote this for my friend

A friend I never knew

And every single stage we graced

They know your name, it's safe to say

They throw their lighters in the air

I know that you were there

On that sun-drenched afternoon

I felt your spirit in the wind

We flew a hundred blue balloons for you

A hundred blue balloons for you

We flew a hundred blue balloons for you

A hundred blue balloons for you

We flew a hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

This one's for everyone that's ever lost anyone

Does real closure even exist?

Tryna find a bit of peace

Can't help but feel when everything is said and done

We're still left stricken with grief

And there's no time limits on heartbreak

So hard we can't shake the pain

So we dwell on the loss

'Cause memories live on in the minds of your loved ones

Each tear's a memento shed in every drop

So if you're listening in, just know that you are a gift

You're someone I'll never forget

And it feels so surreal that I never even met you in a past life

I reckon we were probably friends

For those who did, it goes one foot after the other

Tryna hold it together while bearing the weight

Just know I got love for the brother

I'll hold it forever

I feel blessed just to mention your name

I wrote this for my friend

A friend I never knew

That every single stage we graced

They know your name, it's safe to say

They throw their lighters in the air

I know that you were there

On that sun-drenched afternoon

I felt your spirit in the wind

We flew a hundred blue balloons for you

A hundred blue balloons for you

I can not forget the view

And I've never known the truth

Like the words they spoke for you, my friend

It's not the end

We're sending you a hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons for you

I can not forget the view

And I've never known the truth

Like the words they spoke for you, my friend

It's not the end

We're sending you a hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons

A hundred blue balloons
