Lyrics

All alone
(Dona, dona, don)
All alone (Dona, dona, dona)
(Dona, don, dona, dona, don)
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)
Never, oh, never (dona, don, dona)
Oh, never forget her (dona, dona)
Never forget her! (dona, don, dona)
I'll never forget (dona, dona)
Look, see Rose's husband
Gone stiff in mid-air
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 candles burn
And the guests and the maid
And poor Rose have return
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...)
And I'll live in my house (on the house)
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
