Some songs are born from an elaborate inspiration. Darling Donna isn't one of those songs. The tune appeared one night in a dream. This has happened to me a few times before. The challenge is to remember that tune when you wake up.
Lyrics
Darling Donna
What are you gonna do?
Darling Donna
What are you going through?
Did he walk out the door?
I hear he’s done that before
Oh Darling Donna
Whatcha gonna do?
Darling Donna
Did he break your heart
Darling Donna
Are you falling apart?
Are you losing your way?
Is there anything I can say?
Oh Darling Donna,
Don’t fading away
Understand
He was never gonna be your man
Now he’s a million miles away
If I may
We could try to dance your blues away
Come on and take my hand
Darling Donna are you losing your joy?
Was it swept away
By some wretched boy?
Just let him go
Surely you must know
Oh Darling Donna
It’s time to grow
Understand
He was never gonna be your man
Now he’s a million miles away
And if I may
We could try to dance your blues away
Come on now take my hand
Take my hand!
Darling Donna
Don’t be lonely again
Darling Donna
Could you use a friend?
If you’re tired of being alone
Just pick up your phone
I’m 604-860-1010
I’m 604-860-1010
That number again
860-1010
