Do You Know What It Means Lyrics by Louis Armstrong

Hip Jazz-Bop!: Footprints In the Sand

0

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

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, more than I miss New Orleans
