You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shatteredWishing you were somehow here again
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed, if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be hereWishing 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 couldPassing bells and sculpted angels
Cold and monumental
Seemed for you the wrong companions
You were warm and gentleToo 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 tryNo more memories, no more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years
Help me say, "Goodbye"
Help me say, "Goodbye"
