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.
