[Em]
I have a blue balloon, [D] a happy [C] tune, and dreams enough to last [B] me all through the afternoon.
[E] I [Em] have the New York [D] Times, and fourteen [C] dimes, and explanations [B] for the most profound nursery
[E]
rhymes.
Before [Am] the rivers [D] run dry, before [G] the last [Am] sad goodbye, let [Em] us be kind [Am] to one
another, week [F#m] and July.
[B]
[E] So don't [Am] just throw your love [D] about, it's not [G] too late to [Am] find out.
[Em] Before the sand has all [B] run out of [Em] the hourglass.

Oh, how I want you [B] girl, come lie beside me [Em] now.
While there still is [D] time, and all my poems still [C]
rhyme, let me love you [B] now, we can drink the [E] good, good wine.
Before [Am] the rivers
[D] run dry, [G] before the last [Am] sad goodbye, let [Em] us be kind to [Am] one another, week [F#m] and July.
