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 -- this feeling's gettin' stronger The longer, I stay away Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines Where mockin' birds used to sing And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi Hurryin' into spring Bridge The moonlight on the bayou Creole tune that fills the air I dream about Magnolias in bloom And I'm wishin' 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
