Lyric Henny s Song: The Key To My Man

Notes: Henny is Norman s wife of many years. She knows that his move to the Caribbean is a midddleaged fantasy, fraught with potential disaster, but she means to stand by him. Though she to is snared by the island s charm, she s smart enough too know it s an illusion. She s not quite smart enough to perceive that Iris Tramm is a threat to their marrage. Henny sings this song at the Kinja airport, as she is returning to New York to close up their apartment. Off and on Jimmy and I talked about having a "Married Love Song" for Henny. During rehearsal Jimmy wrote this lovely song almost overnight.

I find myself between two worlds
Bewildered all to hell
Up north I have my mid-town life
Down here my new hotel
What kind of a dream is this
Ion t know where I will land
It s a Caribbean fairy tale
The snow has turned to sand

Chorus:
But he s happy
I understand
And thats the key
To my man

Bridge:
I d like to have a clearer view
And listen to my hunches
Without the rum-lined Kinjan fog
Of a thousand planter s Punches
Iguess I ll have to let it go
And simply tag along
Just let myself get all caught up
Forget what s right or wrong
What kind of dream is this
That s causing me this strife
My husband s chasing windmills
And I m still the nervous wife

Chorus:
Cause he s happy
And he s my man
What good s this key in my hand
Oh he s happy
I understand
And that s the key
To my man
