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 dream Somehow you would be here Wishing I could hear your voice again Knowing that I never could Dreaming of you won't help me to do All that you dreamed I could Three long years I've knelt in silence Held your memory near me Three long years of murmured sorrow Willing you to hear me ♪ 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
