Do you know what it means to miss 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 ‘cause the feeling's getting stronger
Longer I stay away
Miss them moss covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mocking birds used to sing
I'd love to see that lazy Mississippi
Just hurrying in the spring

Moonlight, moonlight on the bayou
Creole tunes that fill air
And I dream, I dream about magnolias in June
I keep I'm wishing I were there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
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

Moonlight on the bayou
Creole tunes that fill air
And I dream, I dream about magnolias in June
I keep I'm wishing I was there

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
That's where you left your heart
There's one thing more
I miss the one I care for
More than I miss, more than I miss, more than I miss New Orleans
