Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day
I know I'm not wrong
The feelin' gettin' stronger
The longer I stay away
I miss the moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
And I like to see the lazy Mississippi
Pouring it into Spring
The moonlight on the Bayou
Old Creole tunes that fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And now I'm wishin' that I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart
And there's something more
I miss someone I care for
More than I miss New Orleans

The moonlight on the Bayou
A Creole tune that fill the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And now I'm wishin' that I was there
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
when that's where you left your heart
And there's something more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
