Moon, Emmie and Stuart Trio

Lyrics

[EMMIE] All alone [THE MOON] Dona, dona [EMMIE] All alone [THE MOON] Dona, dona, dona Dona, dona Dona, dona, dona [STUART] 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 [THE MOON & STUART] 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? [STUART] 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 [STUART, spoken] Conversation, support, and a heart [STUART] 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" [STUART, EMMIE & THE MOON] 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 [EMMIE & STUART] Mama, I'm sorry (All alone) I called you a maid
