Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

You were once my one companion . .
You were all that mattered . .
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered . .
Wishing you were somehow here again . .
Wishing you were somehow near . .
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here . .
Wishing I could hear your voice again . .
Knowing that I never would . .
Dreaming of you won't help me to do
All that you dreamed I could . .
Passing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seem, for you the wrong companions -
You were warm and gentle . .
Too many years fighting back tears . .
Why can't the past just die . . .?
Wishing you were somehow here again . .
Knowing we must say goodbye . .
Try to forgive, teach me to live . .
Give me the strength to try . .
No more memories, no more silent tears . .
No more gazing across the wasted years . .
Help me say goodbye
Help me say goodbye!
