Up Up & Away
The Brass Ring Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I

For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky

For we can fly, we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hid us, keep the moon beside us

Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dream across the sky
For we can fly, we can fly

Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Overall Meaning

The song "Up Up & Away" by The Brass Ring is a classic anthem that invites the listener to take a journey of exploration and adventure high up in the sky. The first two lines of the song invite the listener to come aboard the singer's "beautiful balloon" and glide through the skies. The singer suggests that they could "float among the stars together" and experience a magical moment together. The following lines repeat the idea that they can fly up in the sky and sing a song while they "sail along the silver sky," enjoying the beauty of the world.

The second verse takes us deeper into the world of the singer's balloon ride. It suggests that the world becomes a better place while up in the balloon. The world "wears a nicer face" as they float together, experiencing this moment. The idea of being up in the air, falling in love is introduced when the singer talks about finding a cloud to hide them and keep the moon close to them, hinting at a romantic relationship starting. The chorus is repeated again, reminding us that they can fly, up in the air, in their beautiful balloon.

Overall, the song is open to interpretation, but it's evident that it serves as an invitation to explore the world beyond our reach and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. It's a timeless piece that evokes feelings of nostalgia and wonder.
