Dana, my darling
I'm writing to you
Cause your father passed away
It was a beautiful day
And I don't want to
Bother you anymore
I used to hope you'd come back
But not anymore, Dana
My eyes might have betrayed me
But I have seen
Your picture on the cover
Of a filthy magazine
And I think my heart
Just cannot handle that
Dana, my darling
Would be so bad
Dana, my darling
I'm writing to you
Cause your mother passed away
It was a really rainy day
And I didn't mean to
Bother you anymore
Your mother wished: Come visit
your father's grave, Dana
Your father disowned you
Because you have sinned
But he did forgive you
In condition he was in
And I hope you won't do
Those things anymore
Dana, my darling
I'm waiting for
Little Dana O'Hara
Oh Dana, my dear
How I wish that my
Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara
Decided one day
To travel away, far away
No, you can't surprise
Me anymore
I have seen it all before
But it seems
I cannot let you go
Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana
And I think that I told you
I'd wait for you forever
Now I know someone
Else is holding you
So, for the first time in my life
I must lie
Lie's a sin
Mess that I am in
Love is not the thing I feel now
I promise you
I won't write again
'Till the sun sets
Behind your grave
Dana, my Dana
I'm writing to you
I heard you passed away
It was a beautiful day
I'm old and I feel
Time will come for me
My diaries pages are full of thee
Little Dana O'Hara
Oh Dana, my dear
How I wish that my
Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara
Decided one day
To travel away, far away
