Billie Holiday & Louis Armstrong - 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.


   Effortlessly beautiful.
