Dear New Orleans My True Love

Dear New Orleans 

Since the first time I met you, I knew you were unique and special. 
I fell in love with your passion and your people. 

Even when I am miles away, deep down
 I crave your voice, your rhythm and your sound. 

New Orleans you are so beautiful, with your tall buildings
 and your French Quarter sights your sound is my delight.
 
Even now my heart aches, my heart breaks from the violence my heart shakes. 
The terrorist attack tried to hold me back, but nothing can keep me away from you.
 
Forever committed, forever true
Bourbon and Canal, I’m coming home to you.
