Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?
Do you know what it means to miss New OrleansAnd miss it each night and dayI know I'm not wrong, the feeling's getting stronger The longer I stay awayMiss the moss-covered vines, tall sugar pinesWhere mockingbirds used to singI'd love to see that old lazy MississippiHurrying into SpringThe moonlight on the bayouA Creole tune that fills the airI dream about magnolias in bloomAnd I'm wishin' I was thereDo you know what it means to miss New OrleansWhen that's where you left your heartAnd there's one thing more, I miss the one I care forMore than I miss New Orleans From Letras Mania
