Robby singing 'The Hourglass Song' from the 1973 classic-'Jeremy' The song is also referred to as 'Blue Balloon' This version is missing a section about the Carnivals and clowns, but there are others posted on UA-cam that have it. This version was taken from the end credits of the movie and include beautiful orchestral interludes.

Lyrics:
I have a blue balloon, a happy tune
DREAMS enough to last me, all through the afternoon.
I have the New York time, and 14 dimes and
EXPLANATIONS FOR the most profound nursery rhymes.
Before the rivers run dry.
Before the last SAD good-bye
Let us be kind to one another.
We can try...
So don't just throw your love about
It's not too late to find out
Before the sand has all run out, of the hourglass
So don't just throw your love about, its not too late to find out, before the sand has all run out...of the hourglass.
Too late to hide it now.
It's all around us now
Oh! How I want you girl...
Come lie beside me now
While there still this time
and all my poems still rhyme
Let me love you now, We can drink the good, good wine..
Before the rivers run dry, before the last sad goodbye
Let us be kind to one another, we can try....
So don't just throw your love about.
You and me, hey, let's find out
Before the sand has all run out of the hourglass...
I got to meet Robby once, back in '91. I was at Disney World and was at a cast party for Beauty and the Beast and got to meet him and his wife and child. Very nice people.
this song is beautiful Robby xxx i love everything you sing and movies and all you been in. your one special actor/musician. ty for sharing your life and gifts with us xxx
I get can never hear this song too many times.🥰..my all time favourite movie of Robby Benson was "Jeremy"
Seems like one of those songs 100 other artists would have covered by now. What a hidden gem!
wow- did everyone see this movie when they were 13? I remember it so well....
especially the camera movement the first time they were together..... As far as comments regarding his voice- the lack of polish makes more real to me. The film was very real and unique- the voices of Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor should be appreciated the same way....
Yes...I saw it when I was 12😊❤
I was a child but I remember watching it.❤
I watched this film on TV more than 30 years ago and it struck me at once. It is one of the most beautiful love stories ever, touching and true. Thanks for putting this wonderful tune up.
Such abeautful voice to match a beautiful person, this movie was the love story, version for teens!!❤❤
I watched this movie 45 years ago, and then I fell in love with this song. I'm glad I was able to hear it again because the memories came back... Respect from Polish
I remember this movie so well.
Kids love story.
The first one was "Melody" a British movie with music by Bee Gees. Then, this one.
Love this song... beautiful lyrics.
When I was so in love in my younger days , this was our theme song. He is now in heaven💑🌹💕
Ooh my god I love this guy but he is now in heaven the lord be with you and god bless
God bless u in heaven
I have a Robby Benson section of my video library. This movie is there. Just added "One On One."
This song gives me chills!
One of the most haunting songs I've ever heard. Has a romantic rainy day feel to it.
i love this song so much..... thank you so much for sharing..
I just rewatched this hauntingly beautiful film after what must have been thirty to forty years. It still made me cry...The clothing, hairdos and glasses might be dated, but the feelings expressed in it are timeless. Thanks for posting Robby Benson Scrapbook!
Minha adolescência, lembrança maravilhosa!!!
Hoje 61 anos
Oh how awesome. I met him in person in NYC for his booksigning last year, he was a sweetheart. I bet he was a great teacher, I've heard nothing but good things about him. Thanks for sharing!
I bought the LP 28 years ago in a record store called "The place to find the hard to find record" in West Hollywood. I probably owned the only copy left in the world. I still pay it to this day and it's in great condition. A lot of the tracks have Robby Benson playing cello. My version of "blue Ballon" is longer and does not have the instrumental bridge in it. The album has an instrumental version of "Blue Ballon". The music is by Lee Holdridge and Lyrics by Joseph Brooks
Such a Beautiful but Sad Film,
Robby Excellent as Jeremy & Glynnis Beautiful & So Real as Susan,
They were Wonderful in Ode to Billy Joe too ,Very Talented
Memories....fond memories will always be cherished. Rest in peace...
He was and still is the most beautiful thing.
beautiful song, beautiful movie. robby benson was a real heart throb of the 70's and rightly so!
Oh Jeremy, what a sad story, still makes me cry every time i hear the song (already 35 years!) i wish someone can explain the lyrics from the beginning...
I absolutely love this movie and this song amazing work was done with this production
AWESOME!!! This song is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! iTunes doesn't have it which tells us something we knew for a long time; iTunes has no taste in music.
"So don't just throw your love about" I love these lyrics ❤️🎶🎤
My favorite just put it on ❤
Nice , lovely & dearm old song
Love playing this music while im doing my oil painting works....
Youth is infinite. Unforgettable memories.
THANK YOU for putting this up!!! There's so much out there for the "young-uns" on internet but for older gals like me (46) it is so exciting to find any favorite old movies or songs online. For me as a teen certain music or movies or stars would really GET TO YOU. Emotions seem exaggerated if that makes sense. You'd freak when a certain song came on, cry really hard at certain movies, gaze at a poster on ur wall (wont admit who mine were-LOL) gaze at posters feeling crazy teenage love!!
I have always loved this song!
It was almost 30 years ago when I first saw this move as a teenager, and this movie makes me cry to this day. I have both VHS and DVD. I imagine that teenagers nowadays probably would find this film not that interesting due to lack of sex-related-materials, but I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. it's a sweet and beautiful story, and marvelously honest acting job from both Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor with such emotions that kills me every time I watch this.
This is a very nice song, but the "Jeremy" song that Glynnis sings toward the end of the movie is absolutely stunning. You should put that one up.
La chanson s'écoute encore, aujourd'hui, avec grand plaisir . Un petit miracle . Le film, lui, je l'avais vu à l'époque : je ne m'en suis pas remis . Mon premier fils s'appelerait " Jérémy" . C'est exactement ce qui s'est passé . J'ai acheté le film en DVD, il y a quelques années, mais pas revu . J'ai peur !
One of my favorite love song......
zum dahin schmelzen.........
thanks so much for this song.....
Muita saudade. 1973. Época maravilhosa. Primeiro amor. Sonhos. Hoje, tudo tão distante, lá no passado; só saudade; que triste. Mas, a vida é assim. Vamos seguir em frente.
This is a very lovely version of the song. The album version was more popular and played though. Thanks for posting this amazing song!!
I love this song. Thanks for posting it.
Just love this song!!
Música do filme Jeremy, blue ballon , muito linda..lembro da minha infância
Cool, I loved the movie Jeremy and Robby Benson @ the time, he is still a doll =))
Saudades da década de 70
..its have nice memory from the past lasting time and im happy..
Muitas lembranças da minha pré adolescência em Goiânia anos 80, tempos de muitos sonhos, 12 outubro 2021 me veio na lembrança essa música que gostava e gosto muito, quantos sonhos não realizados, mas agradeço a Deus pelos que consegui realizar.
Me too...I thought I will neevr hear this again. This song is so sad, the music, the words, the strings, oh..heart-wrenching. It resonates so much in my heart it makes me want to cry. I was out of love around that time I saw the film. I cried while I was watching it.
It seems that I want to fall in love again
Listening to this song again almost made me cry.I was 13 when I watched the film,and it was wonderful.Does anybody perhaps know whether I can find it on DVD?
Thanks a lot my mom ask me to find this song for her for a month.
Finally it's here. Thank you thank you
Try play this song from the songbook full of dust and found that I still miss my puppy loveone, recall my good old days and all the good old memories before leave my home town - Hong Kong.
Beautiful...

こんちはnao7896さん。
ぼくも、そうだった。涙, 涙, 涙。当時、レコードも買った。１０年ほど前、ビデオテ−プを買った。最近、DVDも買った。いま、こうやって、UA-camで聞いているだけで、涙がとまらない（最近ちょっと落ち込んでいるもんで...)。とても美しい悲しい初恋の映画。でも今の若い人たちには、うけないだろうなあ

Uno de los temas que más tiernamente recuerdo...
❤❤❤
i just finish watching this movie 5 min ago
hi!
I have to admit that I did not know about this film, the song or Robby Benson. I came across this clip by coincidence last night. I suffered from my periodic bout of depression. The song did not help me to get over it but still had a comforting effect. Does anyone know if there is a chance to get this song on CD?
Anyway, my gratitude for posting this song!
i loved that movie 'jeremy' haha i'm such a nerd.
Lindo!
SUBLIME !!!!!!
Eu acreditava ser a única a ter uma história com esta música ...
Whoops! I'm Robbybensonscrapbook! I just replied under my other username here. Thanks again!
@TadnDixie1 Hi, this is RB scrapbook-thank you for the comment. Robby's singing improved with age I think. on the RB channel I have clips of him when he's a little older singing. It's a shame they never released this soundtrack except on records. However, I do have the mp3 of this version. Send me a PM with your email and I can give it to you.
oinia camu
siempre estaras en mi mente y corazon que dios te bendiga y a tu family, bs.
I saw this movie a long long time ago. I really really want to see it again. Can someone please tell me where I can download it from?
This movie is called 'Jeremy.'
linda musica
@cococahoo I am SO happy to hear you as a young person like this film!!! (I'm guessing your are 16 or 17?) I was a teenager 15 or 16 when I saw this movie (30+ years ago), and Jeremy and Susan's story of their love affair never left my heart for some crazy reason. As a film maker/photographer, it is not a well-made film; however, emotional portrayal of two young lovers in this film is something we all understand and feel. Strange, writing this I feel something back of my eyes.....
グリニスオコナーのジェレミーも聴きたい
@jodiekennon Robby himself admitted that he doesn't think he's a very good singer at all, but you know how it is when they had teen idols back in the day, they made them try singing and acting. He's done a lot of songs, and I think got better as he got older. He wrote and sang a beautiful song called 'Forever' a few years ago.
Do you know where I can find the sheet music? This song is beautiful!

🤔It’s an unusual version... skipping the 2nd verses: “ The carnival is here...”
@zulubeatz817 Hi, this RBScrapbook writing from my other main channel. Please go to my new Robby website (robbybensonscrapbookdotwebsdotcom) and go to the 'rare music' page. I have put all the clips of music that I have acquired on that page, including this one. Enjoy. :D
Alle menschen mussen sterben !
All living things die sooner or later !
That's why memory of love is precious and hard to forget ~
Unfortunately no. I didn't own a camera when I was 17. :( I do remember that he had a very soft hand though. lol
@TadnDixie1 I'll send you a PM through youtube and you can respond through there so it's private. :)
ja mam mp3
Ok I'll be first to admit I'm theeee worlds worst singer so i really have no room to criticize but seriously ppl, am I the only one that thinks he isn't very good at singing? I might even go as far as saying he could be tone deaf. He should stick to acting. The lyrics are sweet though...Just my opinion.
It fit the movie/ character Jeremy he was playing somehow just right IMHO. Of course, he wasn't trying to win a Grammy for it.
