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 fathers 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, 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, oh oh..
I've 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's 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 'til the sun sets behind your grave..
Dana, oh, 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 diary's pages are full of thee...
Little Dana O'Hara oh, oh Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here..
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day,
to travel away, far away..
Little Dana O'Hara oh, oh Dana my dear,
How I wish that my Dana was here..
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day,
to travel away, far away..
