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 feeling's getting stronger  The longer I stay away  Miss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines Where mockingbirds used to sing I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi Hurrying into Spring  The moonlight on the bayou A 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 one thing more, I miss the one I care for More than I miss New Orleans
