Verse:
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
Verse:
Dana my darling I’m writing to you
Your mother passed away it was a really rainy day
And I didn’t mean to bother you anymore
Your mother wished you'd 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
Сhorus:
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, faraway
Bridge 1:
No, you can’t surprise me anymore (woooah)
I have seen it all before
But it seems I cannot let you go anyhow
Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana
Bridge 2:
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 know
I promise you I won’t write again
‘Til the sun sets behind your grave
Verse:
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
Key Change:
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, faraway
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, faraway
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, faraway
