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 here your voice again
Knowing that I never 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
