Have You Even Spent Time There?

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 moss-covered vines, tall sugar pines
Where mockingbirds used to sing
I'd love to see that old lazy Mississippi
Hurrying 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

by Billie Holiday

I thought it was, "I left my heart in San Fransisco" ?

Yea, I leved there for a few years, just outside the city. Mardi Grass was quite an experience. Hope most of it comes back, but maybe they should rethink building in some areas.

It was the people and the food; going out to the local store and getting 10 pounds of steaming hot boiled crawfish and a couple of six packs of beer over in Algiers.
