Girl with the yellow balloon

Girl with the yellow balloon,
Sleeping in her father's lap,
Holding the balloon tight in her hand,
Perfect moment for a snap.

Looks like she's watching a dream,
That subtle smile on her face,
Balloon in one hand, dad's finger in the other,
A perfect moment to embrace.

I think she went to that fair near the temple,
White ribbons and a pink frock,
Eyes twinkling with the lights around,
People around in a flock.

The subtle smile goes,
That tiny tear at the corner of her eye,
Looks like she is missing her mom,
Want this moment to just die.

Father trying to wake her up,
Home seems to be near,
Still holding the yellow balloon in her hand,
I see the one tiny little tear disappera...
