Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans

Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans
music by Louis Alter
lyric by Edgar DeLange

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans and miss it each night and day?
I know I'm not wrong, this feeling's getting stronger the longer I stay away.
Miss them moss covered vines, the tall sugar pines where mockin' birds used to sing,
And I'd like to see that lazy Mississippi hurryin' into spring.

The moonlight on the bayou, a Creole tune that fills the air.
I dream about magnolias in bloom and I'm wishin' I was there...

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans when 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.

The moonlight on the bayou, a Creole tune fills the air.
I dream about magnolias in bloom and I'm wishin' I was there...

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans when that's where you left your heart?
And there's one thing more, I miss the one that I care for more than I miss New Orleans...
