Miss You
Dynamics (The) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Miss You" by The Dynamics is a tribute to the city of New Orleans and the feelings of longing and nostalgia that come with missing it. The lyrics express a deep emotional attachment to the city, as the singer reminisces about the sights and sounds of New Orleans that he misses dearly. The opening lines set the tone for the song, asking the question "Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans?" and the rest of the song serves as a poetic answer to that question.


The singer describes the specific things he misses about the city, such as "the moss-covered vines" and "tall sugar pines", both of which are characteristic features of the Louisiana landscape. He also mentions the sound of mockingbirds and the lazy flow of the Mississippi River, which are both evocative of the slow, relaxed pace of life in New Orleans. The final verse is perhaps the most poignant, as the singer confesses that he misses someone he cares for even more than he misses the city itself.


Overall, the song is a testament to the enduring appeal of New Orleans as a cultural icon and a source of inspiration for artists of all kinds. The poignant lyrics and soulful melody capture the essence of a place that has captured the hearts of many people around the world.
