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
Seemed for you the wrong companions, you were warm and gentle
(Instrumental)
Too many years fighting back tears,
Why can't the past just die?
Wishing you were somehow here again,
Helping me to 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
