Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
I miss it both night and day;
I know that it's 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 of oleanders in June and soon I'm wishin' that you were there.
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?
And that's where I left my heart
And there's something more,
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans.
