Grace Ella

I find myself in Istanbul wishing I was at home.

You see I have a new niece, Grace Ella, what a beautiful name. The Seed has a picture of her.

The one thing my family has always wanted was a little girl.

Congrats Colleen and Bernardo. She looks beautiful.

Congrats! Nieces are the bestest.

BTW . . . Did you know that:

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Istanbul (Istanbul)
Istanbul (Istanbul)

Istanbul!

---- Sorry, couldn't resist.
