Bella Donna Lyrics
Baby, I asked you not to keep me waiting.
I told you now to keep me waiting.
Now the afternoon is fading on.
Donna, Bella Donna have you seen me?
Have you ever really seen me
Like I want for you to see me now?
Lonesome like you were when you were sixteen.
When maybe even I weren't listening.
Did I help when I was kissing you?
Donna, Bella Donna are you listening?
And were you ever really listening
Like I want for you to listen now?
I told you now to keep me waiting.
Now the afternoon is fading on.
Have you ever really seen me
Like I want for you to see me now?
When maybe even I weren't listening.
Did I help when I was kissing you?
And were you ever really listening
Like I want for you to listen now?

I never want this song to end, when it plays.
As beautiful as the other songs of the album.
i love the simplistic, yet complex themes in this song.
I believe "bella donna" is Italian for beautiful Italian lady.
This song gives me chills. The Avett Brothers are so incredibly talented. I can't believe they aren't more famous.
