My left ear really enjoyed hearing this again.

I loved this when I was a kid. Ernie was always so silly, which was fantastic, but everyone has their serious moments, and this was one of Ernie's rare ones. Plus, it's a beautiful song when you really think about it. It amazes me when something like this pops into my head, and it just always seems to be on youtube. Thank goodness for that, cause u'd probably never see this stuff again. SStreet is just not the same as when we were kids, and kids today can see this great vintage stuff

@grail68 That is because Jim Henson performed both Kermit and Ernie when he was alive :-)

This song always used to make me cry when I was small. It still makes me a bit sad now.

So great... but I just noticed that Ernie has basically the same voice as Kermit...

@nyc14gauge......... i felt like u spoke on behalf of me...... i listend to this 3 times....and all the while ...kept re-readin ur post.....insightful...to say the least....
I know why adults find this song sad. Its because Ernie is singing about an idyllic place, a place called "home". As kids, we had a place that was safe and sound (hopefully) that we knew we could always go home to. As adults, we have a longing for that place, but in until we make a place of our own where we can feel as safe as when we did as kids, we'll always be on the moon or under the sea, trying to get back home.
