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.
