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!
