Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans Lyrics

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
And miss it each night and day?

I know I′m not wrong, the feeling's getting 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
Hurrying into spring
The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that fills the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I wish that I were 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

The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that fills the air
I dream about magnolias in June
And I wish that I were 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
