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 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
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
Words, music and sentiment by Louis Armstrong and I know what he means having lived there for four incredible years. We all understood the risks and dangers of living 12 feet below sea level so near the sea between the mighty Mississippi and Lake Pontratrain, but we partied-on dancing to da-music yea ya right...and I hope to be back again soon.
