No Place Like Home

I'd love to visit Holland To wear those wooden shoes Or maybe, down in Memphis I'd learn to sing the blues If I could learn the language I'd love to visit France I've heard it said that Paris Is the place to find romance I'd love to see Old Faithful In Yellowstone National Park Or maybe, climb Mt Ararat In search of Noah's Ark Maybe, I'll visit Ireland And catch a leprechaun I'd rob him of his pot of gold Before the crack of dawn I'd like to sail the seven seas Just like Columbus did Or maybe, visit Egypt And explore a pyramid I'd climb the Himalayas With a sherpa as my guide I may not catch a yeti But, at least, I'll know I tried Maybe, I'll visit England I might even see the Queen One day, I'll tell my grandkids Of all the sights I've seen Even if I see these things Like India, Greece or Rome I'll always love the place I live For there's still no place like home

You are absolutely right my friend. There's really no place like home- home sweet home. Ernilando
