You were once my one companion, you were all that mattered. You were once a friend and father, while 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 will. Dreaming of you won't help me to do all that you dreamed I could. Passing bells and sculpted angels, cold and ornamental, sing for you, the wrong companions. You're warm and gentle. To many years fighting back tears, why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here again, when we must say goodbye. Try to forgive, give 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. *
