Do You Know What It Means to…

I Love 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 feelings 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 thats where you left your heart?
And theres 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 thats where you left your heart?
And theres one thing more I miss the one I care for
More… more than I miss New Orleans.
