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, the tall sugar pines   Where mockingbirds used to sing   And I like to see the lazy Mississippi   Hurrying into Spring      The moonlight on the bayou   A Creole tune that filled the air   I dream about magnolias in June   And now I'm wishing that I was there      Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?   When that's where you left your heart   And there's something more, I miss the one I care for   More than I miss New Orleans      The moonlight on the bayou   A Creole tune that filled the air   I dream about magnolias in June   And now I'm wishing that I was there      Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?   In that's where you left your heart   If there's something more, I miss the one I care for   More than I miss New Orleans
