Do you know what it means to miss New Or - leans And miss it each night and day? I know I'm not wrong -- this feeling's gettin' stronger The longer, I stay a - way. Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines Where mockin' birds used to sing; And I'd like to see that lazy Mis - sis - sip - pi 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. PS. This song is for the victims of KATRINA hurricane.
