Little Lottie thought of everything and nothing. Her father promised her that he would send her the angel of music. Her father promised her. Her father promised her. 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'd just dream, somehow you would be here. Wishing I could hear your voice again. Knowing that I'd never wait. Dreaming of you won't help me to do all that you dreamed I could. Passing bells and sculpted angels, old and monumental, Seem for you the wrong companions. You were warm and gentle. How many years fighting back tears? Why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here again. You must say goodnight. I do forgive. Teach me to live. If we must live to die. No more memories. No more silent tears. No more gazing across the wasted years. Help me say goodnight.
