My Favorite Song

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 feelin's gettin' stronger
The longer I stay away.
Miss the moss covered vines,
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing,
And I long to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurrying in to spring.

The moonlight on the bayou
A Creole tune that fills the air
I dream about magnolias in June and soon
I'm wishin' 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.

lyrics by Eddie De Lange, music by Louis Alter
