Song Details
The simple poetic text validates the universal feeling of missing someone you love when you are away from home. After a freely-sung introductory line, the verses launch into a gentle calypso rhythm which keeps this song light in spirit and, thankfully, not overly sentimental. (In the original manuscript, Aline dedicated this song to her grandchildren!)
