Lyrics

All alone

Dona, dona

All alone

Dona, dona, dona, dona, dona, dona

To him
I have grown
As remote as Tibet
The bigger he grows
The stranger we get
Gone are the days of our simple duet
His piccolo piping, my bass clarinet
All gone, nothing left
But a note of regret

Dona, dona, dona
Never, oh never
Dona, dona, dona, dona
Never forget her
Dona, dona, dona, dona
Never forget her
Dona, dona, dona, dona
Never forget

{ROSE}
Look, see Rose's husband
Gone stiff in midair
The heartbroke musician
Who froze on the stair
Oh, Stu, do you love me?
The question's unfair
How can you be loved
By someone who's not there?

Can't go up to see him
I'll only upset
My sad little son
But I can't go down yet
She needs from me
Things that I cannot provide
Conversation
Support
And a heart

Those all died
I'll stand here eight days 'til the last candle's burned
And the guests and the maid and poor Rose have returned
To wherever they came from
'Til Noah has grown
He and I will live here
In this house all alone
And I'll say to him
'Noah, the moon shone so bright
When she played her bassoon
That last Chanukah night.'

Oh, do you remember
The way that it shone
Dona, dona, dona
And I'll live in my house
On the house
Dona, dona, dona
And I'll make it okay
On the three of us here
All alone

Mama
I'm sorry
I called you a maid
