This song was never recorded, and it's too bad because it's such a cute little love song.

The Yellow Balloon

I remember the day we met so clearly
I remember the sounds and smells in the air
I remember you looked so cute holding that yellow balloon
Making faces at people like me, reading my copy of Dune

I remember the way we looked at each other
I remember the teenage look in your eyes
I remember you laughed so sweetly all through the afternoon
And together we ran so swiftly, chasing that yellow balloon

Balloon - we were chasing that yellow balloon
Balloon - in love with a yellow balloon

I'll remember the way you looked forever
I'll remember eternal love in your eyes
I'll remember immortal love way past the moment I die
I'll remember the yellow balloon freeing itself in the sky

Balloon - we were chasing that yellow balloon
Balloon - in love with a yellow balloon

This is one of my few pure love songs, and again I brought in the science fiction theme with my "Dune" rhyme, which I doubt that anybody else has ever used. And there's the reincarnation theme too in the line about "way past the moment I die." The song has a very beautiful and haunting melody that has stuck in my mind ever since the day I wrote it, and I hope I get the chance to record this one someday.
