Dom is a title of respect prefixed to the given name. It derives from Latin Dominus.
It is used in English for certain Benedictine and Carthusian monks, and for members of certain communities of Canons Regular. Examples include Benedictine monks of the English Benedictine Congregation (e.g. Dom John Chapman, late Abbot of Downside). The equivalent female usage for such a cleric is "Dame" (e.g. Dame Laurentia McLachlan, late Abbess of Stanbrook, or Dame Felicitas Corrigan, author).
It has historically been used on occasions in French, as in Dom Pérignon, and was used for the Avignon popes, analogously to the Italian and Spanish Don (Spanish: [ˈdon], Italian: [ˈdɔn]).
In Portugal and Brazil Dom (pronounced: [ˈdõ]) is used as a title of respect, particularly for men of the royal and imperial dynasty or hierarchs of the Roman Catholic Church. The feminine form Dona is a common honorific reserved for women.

If it's true what they say about the past
Coming back around
Then it's just a matter of time
Before I get let down
Now I'm standing at the place
Where love could go either way
This time maybe
It won't go the same
(Chorus)
But if history will decide
That I'm a goner where I lie
Nothing's gonna change
This path leads right to pain
And I know it sounds cliché
That a new day will tell
But if history will decide
Then tomorrow looks like hell
I can't figure where to put the blame
For the life of me
'Cause love's never been hard to find
Just hard to keep
And any gambler knows
His chances before he rolls
And I keep betting my heart
On true love
(Repeat Chorus)
But if history will decide
