Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

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 gettin' 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 

Oh, I dream about magnolias in June 

And wishin' that I was there 

Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans 

When that's where you left your heart 

There's one thing more I miss the one I care for 

More than I 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 gettin' 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 a-hurryin' into spring 

Oh the muddy grass and the memories 

Of Creole tunes that fill the air 

I dream of oleanders in June 

And still I'm wishin' that I were there, were 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 

More than I miss New Orleans 

More than I miss New Orleans
