Moon, Emmie and Stuart Trio

All alone

Dona, dona

All alone

Dona, dona, 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 (Never forget her)

Dona, dona (Never forget her)

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 (All alone)

I called you a maid
