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
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
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
No, you can't surprise me anymore
I have seen it all before
But it seems I cannot let you go
Anyhow, 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 know
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, Dana my dear
How I wish that my Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
To travel away, far away
