    Oh, beautiful Lana
    I told it my mama
    And my dad

    Little girl
    In the world

    Oh la-la-la-la Lana

    Don't you know that I want to
    Hug and kiss you
    Make you know that I miss you

    While we're apart
    Oh my heart
    All it can say is L-a-n-a

  • Collywobbles from Vancouver, B.c.Lana was a monster hit in 1962 in Vancouver reaching number 1 for 3 weeks. Why it did not reach those heights in other areas I don't understand.
    One of his very best, and there were many.
  • Barbara from Boonville, InI don't think I've heard many songs by Roy that I don't like, my favorite is Mama, Evergreen then every other song he sung
