Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Miss the moss-covered vines, the tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
Hurrying on to spring
[Bridge]
The moonlight on the bayou
A Creoles tune that fills the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon I'm wishing that I were there
[Verse 3]
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart?
Thеre's something more, I miss thе one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
[Trumpet Solo]
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans
When that's where you left your heart?
There's something more, I miss the one I care for
More than I miss New Orleans
[Outro]
So much more than I miss
More than I miss
More than I miss
More than I miss
So much more than I miss New Orleans
