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 ´cause 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, faraway

No, you can´t surprise me anymore
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, 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
