"Red Balloon" lyrics

"Red Balloon"
(originally by Bobby Darin)

Bought myself a red balloon, had a blue surprise
Cause hidden in the red balloon was a pity for my eyes

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue blue surprise

Played with toys for children as a child I got
I haven't any time for children although I got a lot

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue blue surprise

We met as friends, and you were so easy to get to know
Will we meet one another again?
Oh my, I hope so

Bought myself a red balloon, got a blue surprise
Cause hidden in the red balloon was a pity for my eyes

She took her lovelight from my eyes
Blue blue surprise
