You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once 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 would
Pulsing bells and sculptured angels
Cold and monumental
Seemed for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentle
Too many years fighting the tears
Why can't the past just die ?
Wishing you were somehow here again
Knowing we would say good bye
Try to forgive teach me to live
Give me the strength to try
No more memories no more silent tears
No repeating of lost and wasted years
Help me say good bye
Help me say good bye !
