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
|
|
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
|
|

|
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.....more than I miss.......New Orleans
