Dsus
I set a friend of mine up on a date
And I told him I'd watch his boy for the day
G A
And we had a ball playing games, eating dogs
Dsus
Riding rides at the county fair
I thought he was just being a kid
When we got back to my place and he did what the did
G A
On a balloon that he won he wrote mommy I had fun
Dsus
And I missed you and I wished you there
Em A Em A
I wasn't sure what he had in mind till he jumped up and ran outside
G A D
And he let it go, and he waved good-bye
G A D
Or was it hello, I don't know but I died inside
Bm A
I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling
D G
When it was gone as it could get
Em
And he turned and asked me,
A
Think it's in heaven yet
Dsus
I struggled for something to say
I was too choked up lacking the kind of faith
G A Dsus
He had in his heart before I could start he walked me back inside
He gave me his crayola pen and said I'll bet there's a message
G
That you'd like to send, and no doubt he was right
A Dsus
It been locked up inside since my grandpa said good-bye
Em A Em A
I took that yellow balloon and wrote till I ran out of room
G A D
And I let it go, and we waved good-bye
G A D
That seven-year old Lord he opened my eyes
Bm A
I can still see his excitement in pointing and smiling
D G
When it was gone as it could get
Em
Then I turned and asked him
A
Think it's in heaven yet
