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!
