Billie Holiday - Don't Explain

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 feeling's getting stronger
The longer I stay away

Miss the moist-covered vines
The tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
And I'd like to see the lazy Mississippi
A hurrying to spring

The Mardi Gras memories
Of Creole tunes that filled the air
I dream of oleanders in June
And soon, I'm wishing 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
