New Orleans

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans And miss her each night and day I know I'm not wrong because 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 Running in the spring Moonlight on the bayous Creole tunes fill the air I dream about magnolias in June 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
