MARK WILLS
(Casey Beathard) I set a friend of mine up on a date And I told him I'd watch his boy for the day And we had a ball playin' games, eatin' dogs 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 he did On a balloon that he won He wrote mama I had fun I missed you and I wished you were there I wasn't sure what he had in mind 'Till he jumped up and ran outside and He let it go, he waved goodbye, or was it hello? I don't know but I died inside I can still see his excitement Him pointing and smilin' When it was gone as it could get He turned and asked me You think it's in Heaven yet? Well I struggled for something to say I was too choked up and Lackin' the kind of faith he had in his heart Before I could start He walked me back inside He gave me his Crayola pen Said, I bet there's a message that you'd like to send And no doubt he was right it's been locked Up inside since Grandpa said goodbye I took that yellow balloon and I wrote 'Til I ran out of room then I let it go and we waved goodbye That seven year old Lord he opened my eyes I can still see his excitement Him pointing and smilin' When it was gone as it could get I turned and asked him You think it's in Heaven yet?
