Lyrics:
On the day Hannah's grandpa took her to the circus,
Everyone there seemed so funny and strange:
Eleven foot stick-men with tall purple hats,
Elephants and jugglers and brave acrobats,
The men on the flying trapeze
And the sawdust that made Grandpa sneeze.

There were glockenspiel tubas and clowns with kazoos,
Clowns with big bow ties and clowns with big shoes.
There was so much to choose from it was all like a dream.
Grandpa's shirt got all messy with melted ice-cream.

Tall cotton candy, two scoops of chocolate, popcorn and peanuts and pink lemonade.

Before you could blink it was time to go home.
They couldn't believe how the time had flown.
"Aw, Grandpa, I can't believe it's over already. Can we go again tomorrow?"
"Oh, honey, tomorrow, the circus will be FAR from here. But we'll go again next year, together. I promise."

She took Grandpa's hand as they walked to the isles,
Faces were painted with permanent smiles.
But as they left the circus, she started to cry
She wanted something to remember it by.

But Grandpa spent all of his money on treats;
Not a single dime left to buy one souvenir.
Just then a hobo appeared in the streets,
With a monkey named Marvin with big, funny ears.

He gave her a bright blue balloon.
And the [music box] played her a toon.

She took hold of the string and waved goodbye
And stared at the candy-crossed clouds in the sky
And wondered just how high it could fly.
Her blue balloon.

When she got home, she looked out her window
And dreamed of the places she one day would go.
And even though she was far too young to travel,
she secretly wished for the wind to blow.

'Cause what balloon likes to be stuck on the ground
When it knows it could travel the world all around?
And it's clear that it wants to go up and not down;
Not until journey's end is earth bound.

She danced as the autumn wind blew.
She knew what she wanted to do.

She let go of the string and waved goodbye
Until her balloon was a speck in the sky
And vanished into a sea of blue.
Her blue balloon.

She sang:
"Sail to the moon, my blue, blue balloon!
And if you don't make it that far,
I've attached this small note
So they know who we are:
Sailing over the stars
from my home to your home
Whoever you are!
My gift to you
Is my blue balloon.' "

What a special time Hannah had with Grandpa.
She had never seen so many new things in just one day.
As she lay awake that night in bed,
The autumn wind outside rustled the leaves in the trees,
And she listened as the danced and swirled.
And through her bedroom window,
A bright, yellow crescent moon hung low in the sky,
Amidst a silhouette of clouds.
And the moon smiled down at her,
For it had heard the beautiful song she sand earlier that day,
When she set her blue balloon free.
She sang her song as the sun set;
It was so beautiful that Mister Moon awoke from a sound sleep.
And in the distance,
She could still hear the sound of the circus on the wind,
Until it grew so faint,
She imagined it must be somewhere far away,
Just like Grandpa said.
Then she thought about her balloon,
And suddenly,
She was flying over houses and forests,
And hills and lakes,
Until she could see the mountains.
And beyond the moutains: the ocean.
With it's gentle waves glistening under the smiling moon.
Higher and higher she flew,
Until all she could see below her,
Was a soft bed of cotton-candy clouds.
And with that....
She drifted off to sleep.
