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, dana my dear,
how I wish that my dana was here
little dana o'hara I 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
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 diarys
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 I decided one day
to travel away, faraway
