Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans

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 moist-covered vines The tall sugar pines Where mockingbirds used to sing And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi A hurrying to spring The Mardi Gras memories Of Creole tunes that filled the air I dream of oleanders in June And soon, 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
