Lana Lana oh Lana dear
Please come along with me
We'll go (Lana dear) we'll go (Lana dear)
So far away (Lana dear) (Lana dear)
So happy (Lana dear) we will be (Lana dear)
I'll show (come with me) I'll show (come with me)
You another world (come with me) (come with me)
Alone (come with me) with silver (come with me) and gold (Lana dear)
(Oooooooooooo)
(Oooooooooooo-ooooo)
Don't dear (Lana dear) please don't (Lana dear)
Don't be afraid (Lana dear) (Lana dear)
It's heaven (Lana dear) I've been told (Lana dear) (Lana dear)
Lana (come with me) Lana (come with me) Oh Lana dear (come with me)
Please (come with me) come along (come with me) with me (Lana dear)
Lana (Lana dear) Lana (Lana dear) oh Lana dear (Lana dear) (Lana dear)
Please (Lana dear) come along (Lana dear) with me (Lana dear)
